Why work with me?
As both a freelance Umbraco developer and Umbraco consultant, I help organisations deliver secure, scalable and maintainable websites built on modern .NET technologies.
With experience working with Umbraco since version 4 (2012), I bring a long-term engineering perspective to Umbraco development projects — from initial architecture and technical planning through to implementation, optimisation and scaling. Whether you need strategic consultancy, hands-on Umbraco development, or ongoing technical support, I provide flexible expertise tailored to your business.
As an Umbraco consultant, my background includes delivering enterprise-level platforms for organisations such as Deloitte, NEC, Team GB, Lotus F1 Team, SCS Sofas and Coventry College. This includes building high-availability Umbraco solutions under demanding conditions, such as the Team GB platform for the British Olympic Association during the London 2012 Games, where performance and reliability were critical for handling large-scale traffic.
I have also delivered complex, content-driven platforms within the public sector, including a multi-language Umbraco CMS implementation for Coventry College, designed to support multiple departments with structured content and responsive user experiences.
My experience as a freelance Umbraco developer includes delivering time-critical Umbraco websites, such as launch platforms for Lotus F1 Team aligned to fixed Formula 1 deadlines, where performance, accuracy and reliability were essential.
In addition to traditional CMS implementations, I have designed and developed headless and hybrid architectures, including a custom integration between Umbraco and nopCommerce. This approach enables Umbraco to operate as a flexible headless content platform, powering commerce-driven experiences via a bespoke API layer.
This breadth of experience allows me to help organisations make informed decisions around architecture, performance, scalability and long-term maintainability. From early planning through to delivery and optimisation, I bring practical, hands-on expertise across the full project lifecycle.
As a freelance Umbraco developer, I provide:
• Custom Umbraco development and builds
• Upgrades and migrations between Umbraco versions
• Bug fixing and performance improvements
• API integrations and third-party system connections
• Clean, maintainable .NET code aligned with best practices
This combination of consultancy and development means you’re not just getting code — you’re getting informed technical direction that supports your wider business goals.
Whether you need short-term support or a long-term Umbraco partner, I offer flexible engagement to suit your project.
Modern Development Practices
Successful Umbraco projects require more than just CMS expertise. I work with modern Git-based development workflows to ensure reliable, collaborative and maintainable delivery.
This includes:
-Â Git and GitHub workflows
-Â Feature branch development strategies
-Â Pull requests and peer review processes
-Â CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps
-Â Automated deployments and release management
-Â Agile and sprint-based delivery methodologies
Having worked within agency, consultancy and enterprise environments, I'm comfortable integrating into existing development teams or taking ownership of projects from initial planning through to deployment and ongoing support.
Azure & Cloud Expertise
Modern Umbraco solutions increasingly rely on cloud infrastructure for performance, scalability and resilience. I have extensive experience working with Microsoft Azure, designing and supporting hosting environments that provide reliable performance and streamlined deployment processes.
From Azure App Services and SQL Server hosting through to CDN integration, automated deployments and cloud-based architecture, I can help ensure your Umbraco platform is built for long-term success.
Independent Advice and Technical Expertise
Not every project requires a full development agency. As an independent consultant, I provide direct access to senior-level Umbraco expertise without unnecessary overheads.
Whether you need guidance during a new project, support for an existing website, or an experienced developer to work alongside your internal team, I can provide flexible consultancy tailored to your requirements.
Senior Technical Leadership
Many organisations need more than a developer. They need someone who can advise on architecture, challenge technical decisions where necessary, and provide a clear path forward.
As an experienced Umbraco consultant, I combine hands-on development expertise with strategic technical guidance, helping businesses make informed decisions that support their long-term goals while avoiding unnecessary complexity.
Umbraco Upgrades and Support
Keeping your Umbraco website up to date is essential for security, performance and long-term maintainability. I can help plan and deliver upgrades from legacy versions of Umbraco, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your business.
From one-off consultancy sessions to ongoing technical support, I offer solutions designed around your organisation's needs.
