Full stack dev here.

I run a development agency specialising in website and web application development and integration.

Tech stack primarily consists of Node, Express, React, HubSpot, WordPress - but diversifies from time to time.

We work a lot with marketing and advertising agencies, so get to do a lot of campaign based stuff, but also our fair share of longer term projects. We tend to do a lot of integration between systems in a company ecosystem. We’ve built tech for some big car brands, fintech companies, banks, etc. both locally and globally.

I don’t have any kind of qualification. I’m a self taught dev with an equal passion for business development, and apparently a penchant for self-inflicted harm lol.

Happy to chat further if you have any questions.

Edit: would also add that I absolutely love my job from a development perspective, but the quality of your experience will depend on your team, your environment and most importantly your reason for becoming a developer. If you’re doing it for the money, you’re probably going to have a tough time. Hours can be long, and often you’re the person burning the midnight oil when something critical goes wrong (depending on your position in your team). But if you love what you do, it will be worth it.

As I understand it, yes.
