Ship. Vercel.
Hire a Vercel expert for deployment, architecture, and the platform work that sits around your Next.js (or broader full-stack) product. With 19 years building and shipping web software, I take contract Vercel engagements for teams that want to ship faster without turning infrastructure into a second product.
Vercel is no longer only a front-end host. It is a full-stack platform for apps, backends, containers, and increasingly agents: preview deployments, Fluid compute, edge delivery, marketplace databases, and an agent stack built around the AI SDK, Workflow, Sandbox, and secure connections to the tools your product already uses.
I help product teams and agencies get that platform working in practice: sound project setup, sensible caching and compute choices, migrations onto Vercel, and the operational habits that keep previews, production, and security reviews aligned.
Why teams choose Vercel
Vercel fits product teams that want short feedback loops and global performance without a permanent platform crew:
- Ship faster: Git-connected previews and production deploys cut the distance between a pull request and something stakeholders can click.
- Global performance by default: Edge delivery and caching keep latency down for users outside your home region, which helps retention, conversion, and SEO.
- Scale without capacity theatre: Fluid compute scales with demand so you pay for what you use instead of over-provisioning for a traffic spike that might never come.
- Full-stack on one platform: Functions, middleware, backends, Docker workloads, and marketplace databases let more of the product live in one deployment model.
- Ready for agentic workloads: AI SDK, AI Gateway, Workflow, Sandbox, and Connect give you primitives to build and run agents with retries, isolation, and scoped credentials instead of long-lived secrets in env vars.
Platform capabilities I work with
Recent Vercel platform work covers more than static sites and serverless functions. I help teams adopt what they need without dragging the whole catalogue into every project: Dockerfile and container registry support for workloads that need a real image, backend frameworks and services that stay private between services, marketplace databases, enterprise identity and security controls, and Vercel Agent-style workflows where production signals turn into reviewable pull requests instead of unread alerts.
How I can help
- Vercel deployment and architecture: Configure projects, environments, and edge strategies so previews, production, and rollbacks behave the way your team expects.
- Scalability and edge computing: Design for Fluid compute, middleware, and caching so latency and cost stay under control as traffic grows.
- AI and agent stack integration: Wire AI SDK, Workflow, Sandbox, and related primitives into real product paths with durable runs and safer credential handling.
- Performance optimisation: Review deployments, tighten caching and function footprints, and cut bundle weight where it actually moves metrics.
- Migration to Vercel: Move existing applications onto Vercel, retire brittle hosting setups, and keep DNS, domains, and release flow intact while you switch.
- Agency support and consulting: Contract Vercel expertise for client delivery, or strategic guidance for IT teams deciding how far to lean into the platform.
If you need a Vercel consultant, a freelance engineer for a migration, or contract help to get Next.js (and the rest of your stack) running cleanly on Vercel, I can help you ship faster and spend less time on infrastructure busywork.
Tell me what you are deploying, what hurts today, and what "done" looks like. We can agree scope, timing, and whether I am the right person to do the work.
