Hi, I’m David Nixon
Full-Stack Developer
I help teams modernize code and start building tools that scale.
After 20+ years at IBM I now help growing teams modernize, migrate and launch applications using proven frameworks and cloud technologies.
Three ways I can help your team right now:
Develop a custom business application
Design and develop a full-stack web application tailored to your business process (e.g. content curation, internal workflow tools, customer dashboards).
Deliverables: Front-end(React/Vue) + backend API+database+cloud deployment
Will provide a quote
Launch a CI/CD pipeline
from scratch
Design and implement a streamlined DevOps workflow using Docker, Kubernetes (Code Engine), and Travis or Jenkins.
Deliverables: Fully automated pipeline + onboarding docs + team training session
Fixed price
Rebuild a legacy app using modern frameworks
Rebuild an outdated or buggy tool using modern frameworks (Vue.js, Next.js) and migrate to a scalable backend cloud infrastructure.
Deliverables: Fully refactored front-end and back-end with documentation and CI/CD setup
Fixed price
What I bring to every build, from UI to infrastructure:
Build interfaces that drive engagement
- Build Faster, User-Friendly Web Apps – Delivering responsive interfaces using Vue.js, React, and Next.js.
- Seamlessly Integrate APIs – Ensuring dynamic, real-time content updates.
- Build Consistent, Scalable Designs – Building modular front-end architectures that grow with your business.
- Create Faster Load Times & Better UX – Optimizing performance to keep users engaged and reduce churn.
Power performance and reliability at scale
- Streamline Application Performance– Optimize database efficiency with PostgreSQL and NoSQL solutions.
- Automate Deployment Pipelines – Build CI/CD pipelines that reduce errors and speed up releases.
- Secure Scalable Infrastructure – Design cloud-based architectures on AWS and IBM Cloud for growth.
- Integrate APIs Seamlessly – Develop RESTful APIs that connect applications and enable real-time functionality
Reduce downtime and align tech with growth
- Mitigate Deployment Risks: Proactively identify and address potential bottlenecks in deployment pipelines, reducing downtime and enhancing system stability.
- Align Tech Strategy with Business Goals: Lead cross-functional teams to ensure technical decisions support business growth and scalability.
- Foster a Culture of Innovation: Guide teams to embrace continuous improvement, ensuring faster, more efficient delivery cycles.
Keep releases secure, compliant, and adapatable
- Ensure Security & Compliance in Deployments: Maintain secure and compliant CI/CD pipelines that adhere to industry standards and regulatory requirements.
- Adapt Processes for Seamless Change Management: Implement workflows that allow organizations to adapt quickly to technology changes while maintaining system stability.
I'll generate results like these:
Cut manual effort by 95%
Automated infrastrucutre provisioning and CI/CD pipelines to eliminate repetitive tasks, reducing manual efforts by 95%.
Accelerated deployment times by 2X
Migrated legacy applications to cloud environments.
Reduced production errors by 50%
Implemented best practices for code quality and peer review, reducing post-release issues.
Improved system scalability by 3X
Designed cloud-native architectures with automated scaling for consistent uptime.
You'll be happy with my work
“David is the kind of developer every manager hopes to have as part of the team. He brings a broad perspective on both architecting and developing software gained from his experience across both small and very large projects. He writes clean, scalable, secure code — and brings a systems-level mindset that makes everything more efficient. His experience at IBM shows in every detail — calm under pressure, deeply technical and always focused on delivering real business value.”
Teams bring me in when…
Their app is buggy, slow, or falling behind
They need a new tool but don’t want a bloated dev team
Their CI/CD is slowing down releases
They want infrastructure that scales cleanly—without duct tape
