WHY ME?
I am a React.js consulant and I have specialized in React since shortly after its release. I have partnered with developer teams worldwide to deliver complex React projects in many different industries. I have delivered React projects for solo founders, startups, digital agencies and big tech companies, such as Apple or Binance.
I have over eight years of experience in developing platforms, web applications, data visualizations, design systems, dashboards, websites in Next.js and various tools in React. Over the years, as I gained more experience in React, I noticed that even senior React developers don’t use React correctly. I came across a lot of React projects with bad code structure and broken tooling. I help and mentor senior React developers with best practices, design patterns and tooling to scale React.js applications in terms of maintainability and performance.
I offer my services as a React.js consultant for hire to work with businesses of all sizes. Feel free to get in touch. I’m available during the week to discuss and advise on your project or development needs.
SERVICES
Ongoing advice and code reviews
Regular code reviews and meetings with your team to ensure that your React project is well structured. Code quality is underestimated and it’s one of the most important aspects in software development. It can be evaluated only by React experts. I have came across too many broken React projects. Founders, even CTOs don’t know their React projects are broken. When they figure it out, they are looking for React experts, but it’s too late because technical debt is too big. Poor code structure:
- Delays releasing your MVP for months and significantly slow down development
- Cost you at least six figures, because you need to throw your project away and build it from scratch. If you decide to hire a React expert to fix the project, it can take months.
I will provide examples, pseudo-code and snippets to show your team how to structure the code and solve specific scenarios. Minimum price is $4,800/month.
Part-time development
If you feel like you need my help every day or every second day around 20-25 hours/week. I can be actively involved in the development process. I can help senior React developers on daily basis with best practices, design patterns and tooling to scale React.js projects.
Full-time development
I can commit full-time 40 hours/week. I enjoy development in React and working with talented teams.
Others
Do you need a one time code review or anything else? I can go through your project quickly and produce a report with recommendations. Price for one-time quick code assessment is $1,500. If you are not satisfied, I will refund your money.
WHY CHOOSE REACT?
The decision of what technology to use should be based on project’s requirements and developer teams preferences. React became one of the best technologies for building complex user interfaces for number of reasons:
Ecosystem
React.js is an open-source JavaScript library maintained by Facebook and a community of individual developers and companies. It’s frequently updated and appropriately supported. React is by far the most popular front-end library. It allows building UI elements by implementing reusable components and encourages code reusability. Any significant design can be broken down into components and developers can work individually on them. For this reason you can find a lot of libraries for React ecosystem that support and allow you to implement specific requirements easily. There are a lot of choices and only experienced React.js consultant know what libraries to use.
Efficiency and cost-effectiveness
One of the key elements of software development is efficiency and cost-effectiveness. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel and spend thousands of dollars for building a simple feature. Instead we can leverage React libraries that can save us a lot of time. This approach can be counterproductive and reusing existing code can be more time consuming than writing a new code from scratch. For this reason only React.js consultant who worked on many React projects is able to evaluate what approach should be chosen.
Credibility
Verification is another aspect that shouldn’t be underestimated. Technology leaders use React for building user interfaces. React ecosystem provides libraries and tooling that is mature and without major issues and bugs. Every day we can see new frameworks, libraries and new React libraries with innovative approaches. We shouldn’t sacrifice technology maturity, otherwise we can come across obscure issues and spend more time fixing them instead of developing product features. Only experienced React.js consultant know how to determine technology maturity.
