Hi! Iā€™m Danny šŸ‘‹

I'm a Freelance Full-Stack Web Developer and Writer.

I build things with React.js, Node.js, and Laravel. I also write and make videos on software development for FreeCodeCamp.

About me

I am a freelance fullstack web developer based in the UK, specializing in building frontends with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Next.js, and Gatsby, and backends/APIs with Node.js, Laravel and Spring.

Over the past six years, I have built many projects for clients and for personal side projects. Some examples of what clients have asked me to do:

  • Build a Shopify App with TypeScript, Next.js, TailwindCSS, Laravel, Postgres, Shopify REST + GraphQL API, Oath, Chart.js + HTML Canvas for complex dashboard.
  • Integrate Google Analytics and Facebook pixel
  • Send email upon signup with MailGun
  • Build a multistep form with TypeScript, React + Vite, Zod for validation, Zustand for state management, AntDesign for UI.
  • Create username/pw login with ability to reset password
  • Upgrade a website to latest version of Gatsby and Node on Netlify.
  • Build a WordPress custom PHP theme and custom PHP plugin.
  • I have also built WordPress sites with Elementor and Beaver Builder page builders, integrated LearnDash for video courses, and WP Fusion for Zoho CRM integration.

Due to the success of my blogs (DoableDanny & Dev.to), I was invited to write articles for FreeCodeCamp, and recently published an in-depth 12-hour course on Mastering OOP Programming, SOLID Principles and The 23 Gang-of-Four Design Patterns in C#.

I am always learning new technologies, and when I get spare time I like to write articles, usually on my blog, to explore new topics in-depth.

I also love building side projects to learn new technologies, practice my marketing skills, and just for the sake and enjoyment of building something, such as my React Native app, Atomic Meditation.

I have a masters degree in mechanical with biomedical engineering, and have always enjoyed scientific research, building, and problem solving. Currently, I'm delving deeper into backend and devops, such as Microservice architecture, Kubernetes and the MANY Spring Boot Dependencies.
