Fortivex
Principal engineer
Ongoing principal-engineer role at a digital agency — architecture, code review, and the builds nobody else wants to estimate.
Hi, I'm Matt. I build websites people are glad they own.
Official Sanity Partner, one-person studio. Agencies and enterprise teams bring me the builds they can't risk. I architect, build, and maintain high-quality web experiences. I'm still here long after launch day.
Why work with me
- Official Sanity Partner
- Plugin author, ecosystem contributor →
- 95+ Lighthouse
- Every build, no exceptions
- You hire me
- Same person, start to finish
The rooms I've worked in - Agencies already trust me with their builds
Before you hand a stranger your Sanity project, it helps to know who else already has.
Blue Cadet
Full build, delivered solo
The experience-design agency handed me an entire build. I shipped it solo, inside their process, on their timeline.
The Motley Fool
Senior software engineer
Ongoing senior engineering contract on a content platform serving millions of readers.
Plus Chipter, a full platform — Next.js, Sanity, Remotion video automation, AI assist — designed, built, and shipped by one person: me.
Services - Three ways to work with me
Embed me in your team for senior Sanity capacity, hand me a whole build at a fixed price, or bring me in to advise. Either way, you work directly with me on every piece of it.Explore my Sanity CMS services →
01
For agencies
Embedded Sanity development
Senior Sanity/Next.js capacity inside your team — overflow builds, migrations, or an architect on a client project. Hourly or retainer.
02
End to end
Full builds, fixed price
Hand me the whole thing — design to deploy. Hand-coded Next.js, Sanity CMS when a CMS fits, 95+ Lighthouse every time, one price agreed up front.
03
Advisory
Consulting
Architecture and code review, stack and CMS selection, performance and SEO audits, or ongoing technical advisory — a principal engineer on call without the hire.
Real projects, shipped solo
From a full product platform to conservation groups and family businesses — different worlds, same promise: I designed, built, and shipped every one of these myself.
