Lego-block CMS: editors compose pages from typed content blocks. Live-ops API integration. No engineering ticket per landing page.
Independent advisory and fixed-scope engineering for product teams that are tired of vague proposals, inflated timelines, and consultants who disappear after kickoff.
No padded resume. If a tech is on this list, I've taken something using it from kick-off to production at least three times.
Next.js App Router by default. React Server Components where they pay off.
Node and typed APIs. Database-agnostic. Convex, Mongo, Firebase, Postgres, MS SQL: I work with whatever you already use.
Expo + React Native. EAS for OTA, builds, and store releases. Native modules only when the product needs them.
Contentful for enterprise. Umbraco for .NET shops. Content modeling matters more than the tool.
Vercel for frontend. Azure or Google Cloud when the org requires it. Pipelines that fail loud.
Convex for realtime. MongoDB for document data. Firebase for fast prototypes.
Model fine-tuning, custom tool calling, data enhancement. Production work, not demos.
Different rules, same core: regulated environments, content at scale, and stakeholders who don't tolerate silly mistakes.
The 5–6 months of foundation work Contentful doesn't ship out of the box. Typed content modeling-as-code, a composable block engine, real i18n, schema-driven forms, site search, CMS-driven analytics tracking, on-demand ISR, and an enterprise security posture. Drop it in, customize the brand, ship faster.
“It is extremely satisfying to be able to give Nicklas a scope and simply redirect my focus elsewhere, because I know Nicklas is capable of remaining critical of both Delivery-Quality, and Value-Sanity. Nicklas will take any request and turn it into a functional product.”
One paid week of discovery. You leave with a written report: scope, risks, recommended stack, fixed price for what comes next. Yours to keep, no strings.
Either I build the fixed-scope sprint myself, or I sit with your team as fractional CTO. Daily progress in plain text, not status meetings.
Runbooks, architecture diagrams, retro. You can fire me without losing a single bit of context. That's the point.
If I can't put it in a commit, in a doc, or in a runbook, I won't charge for it.
I'll match the stack to your goals and constraints, with clear pros and cons across real options. Heavy patterns—microservices, Kubernetes, event-sourcing—only when the situation actually calls for them.
If a vendor needs me to fill in their proposal, you don't want that vendor.
Lock-in is a smell. The goal is for you to not need me.
Specific outcomes, no logos, no marketing fluff. Stack and result only.
Lego-block CMS: editors compose pages from typed content blocks. Live-ops API integration. No engineering ticket per landing page.
Solo-built foundation in 1.5 months wired up the entire backend. First production release at month three.
Live cargo tracking and fleet telemetry hooked into Azure. Operations get real-time visibility, no spreadsheets.
Fully CMS-driven storefront with commerce. Marketing ships campaigns without engineering.
Hit #1 in the App Store Lifestyle category. Custom backend, deep links, push at scale.
Legacy site revamped for 2024 with stronger SEO foundations and event tracking. Traffic and conversion measurable from day one.
Fully flexible site plus a signup flow with branching, conversational paths, all configured in Contentful. Members opt in step by step instead of facing a wall of fields.
Bring a project you're scoping, a quote you don't trust, or a system you're stuck on. I'll be useful or I'll tell you who is.
Skip 5–6 months of foundation work. Starts at EUR 35,000, one-time license, your team owns the code.
