Using modern standards, I make sure they work smoothly across all browsers and devices. Whether it’s a marketing site, an MVP for a new idea, or a custom web app, I design and develop with a focus on performance and usability. ## Projects I’ve been helping brands realise their online potential from small and medium sized enterprises to large corporate entities, as a solo developer or as part of a larger team. ### Frequently asked questions - #### Everything from marketing sites and product landing pages to fully custom web apps. Whether you’re a startup or a large organisation, I can deliver fast, accessible, and bespoke digital experiences using modern frontend technologies. I also work in existing development/design teams, remotely or in-house for anything web-related. - #### I _primarily_ work remotely from my studio in London, but I’m happy to attend meetings at your London-based office if needed or work together as part of a larger team. - #### I specialise in modern web technologies such as React, Vue, Next, Nuxt, TypeScript, Tailwind, GSAP, Supabase, and more. I also use design tools like Figma for crafting pixel-perfect UI designs. If you have a tech stack I'm not familiar with, I'll do my best to ramp up quickly. If that's not possible or it's out of scope, I'll happily recommend an alternative developer or designer you could work with. I also have a breadth of experience in managing the full lifecycle of a project, from project management and communication with the client, working and consulting with designers and architecting the approach. - #### You can explore my recently selected projects in the section above. I don't typically write lengthy case-studies here and prefer to show the work live, in-situ, for you to make your own judgements. Projects that have undergone significant change since I last worked on them and most projects in general are not shown. This is so you can be confident that every project displayed here is something I've built myself. This portfolio is only a fraction of all work I've ever done. Most projects are either unable to be shown due to NDA's or not visual enough for me to want to display here (think bug-fixing, feature addition or internal projects). - #### If you’d like to collaborate, you can message me at [hello@michaelpumo.com](https://michaelpumo.com/mailto:hello@michaelpumo.com) with as much detail about your project as possible (timeframes/deadlines, budget and scope). The more detail the better! If everything looks good we can arrange a call and take it from there. ## Play Personalise your web experience using the tools below.
