CMS

Payload CMS specialist

Built for editorial teams

I design and ship CMS-driven platforms where content, performance, and UX work together — from biennale programmes and news publishing to civic tools that need to work under real-world traffic.

Approach

CMS-first architecture

Payload collections, custom blocks, and GraphQL APIs shaped for editors — not one-off hard-coded pages.

Focus

Production delivery

Performance, accessibility, and maintainable code — shipped in agile teams and tuned for real users.
