In today’s tech landscape, having a specialized expert on your team can be a game-changer. As an experienced JavaScript Developer and Developer Advocate, I bring a unique blend of technical and communication skills, and a deep understanding of Svelte and SvelteKit.

What can an expert Svelte and SvelteKit Developer Advocate do for you?

My expertise lies in empowering other developers through education, advocacy, and guidance. I’m proficient in identifying and solving problems, simplifying technical concepts, and translating them into easy-to-understand terms.

As an advocate, I serve as a bridge between your team and the broader Svelte community, helping you keep up with the latest trends, best practices, and technological advancements. This proactive approach can help your product’s adoption, visibility, and success.

Whether it’s delivering top-tier workshops, leading and consulting on projects, or advocating for your product, my skill-set can drive tangible results for your team and business.

Workshops & speaking engagements

Empowering developers through education

With years of experience delivering engaging and informative talks at events like Svelte Society London, CityJS, and Connect.Tech Atlanta, I have honed my skills in translating complex technical concepts into actionable learning experiences. My workshops aim to empower developers, providing them with the tools and knowledge to navigate and utilise Svelte and SvelteKit.

I provide workshops that cater to a variety of experience levels, ranging from an introduction to Svelte and SvelteKit for beginners, to deep dives into advanced topics for more experienced developers. Participants will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of these powerful tools, and the ability to implement them effectively in their own projects.

Consulting & project delivery

Bringing expert knowledge and leadership to your team

Besides offering standalone workshops, I also provide longer-term consulting services. These can be in the form of ongoing support for your team’s projects, or I can step in as a team lead to ensure the successful delivery of high-quality SvelteKit applications.

My approach is collaborative and adaptive, with a focus on creating a positive and productive working environment. I believe in the importance of communication and transparency in ensuring a project’s success, and work with team members to foster these values.

Whether your team is looking to expand its knowledge of Svelte and SvelteKit, or requires expert guidance on a major project, my wealth of experience and deep understanding of these tools can be a valuable asset.

Common scenarios where I deliver successful projects:

  • You are looking for a developer advocate to help increase the visibility and adoption of your product.
  • You need help with workshops, tutorials, demos, educational videos, and blog posts for your platform.
  • You’re looking to launch an eCommerce project using Svelte and need a professional to code it.
  • You’d like to leverage the power of a headless CMS platform.
  • You’re looking for an experienced developer to create sample applications, prototypes, and code samples showcasing the power and flexibility of Svelte and SvelteKit with your product.

If one of these situations describes your needs, you’re in the right place. You can hire me to help today.

How much?

Transparency and flexibility

I believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. After all, it’s essential to ensure we’re both on the same page before we start working together. To simplify this process, I’ve added some pricing widgets that cover the services I offer.

Calculated on a single rate from which all services are derived. With this approach you can select what fits your needs best.

Currency preference and client location

I prefer payments in EUR or USD, which aligns well with the majority of the international tech market. But, I am adaptable and can work with the local currency of your company’s base location.

While I’m based in the UK, I’ve had the privilege to work with diverse teams across different time zones. I’ve found that this global approach enhances the creative process, bringing together a rich array of ideas and perspectives.

While I’m open to UK-based projects for shorter terms, my preference leans towards forming long-lasting relationships with international companies. This preference comes from past experiences that has shaped my approach to work, valuing the dynamics of international cooperation and the opportunities they present.

Rates

The widget here factors in holiday (with 8 days public holidays as default). But, if you’re willing to provide Paid Time Off (PTO) when hiring me or it’s a short contract, you can remove that using the slider. This gives you an idea of the budget and helps align with your existing employment practices.
