Prototype an idea
React and TypeScript prototypes for testing early-stage ideas, demos and multi-step user flows.
Selected work
Recent client and portfolio work showing full-stack development, workflow design, API integration and data-driven interfaces.
Commercial client project
Career Action Plan Prototype
Collaborated with another developer to turn a complex client brief into a React and TypeScript prototype for a multi-step career-coaching workflow.
Built flows covering template selection, session setup, consent, simulated audio upload or recording, structured-output review, editable action plans, resource links and final preview screens.
“Josh supported me with the development of a front-end prototype for a new digital careers platform. He quickly understood the concept and translated it into a clear, functional user journey, combining strong technical knowledge with a thoughtful approach to the end-user experience. Josh was collaborative, responsive to feedback and proactive in identifying potential improvements throughout the project. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a capable and dependable software developer.”
Portfolio project
First Step Jobs
A full-stack job discovery platform that combines vacancy data from multiple APIs with personalised matching, commute insights, saved jobs and backend-driven pagination.

Make data easier to use
Search, filtering, saved views, API integrations and persistent data that help users make decisions faster.
About
I’m a frontend and full-stack developer based in Worthing with an MEng Aerospace Engineering background. I enjoy building practical software that turns complex workflows and information-heavy problems into clearer experiences.
My recent work spans React and TypeScript interfaces, Node.js and Express backends, REST APIs, PostgreSQL, automated testing and commercial freelance development. I take features from requirements through implementation, testing and iteration, using GitHub issues, branches, pull requests and feedback to keep development organised and maintainable.
A clear, organised build process
Clear scope. I break a brief or problem into practical features, screens and technical steps.
Iterative build. I build in manageable increments and use feedback to refine the direction early.
Organised delivery. I use GitHub issues, branches and pull requests to keep changes traceable and reviewable.
