Most of these started as an empty directory

Not case studies. An inventory. I am not a specialist who arrives to bolt one clever thing onto somebody else's build. Twenty-six of the projects below were written from scratch — theme, templates, database, the lot — and the integrations, configurators and migrations happened inside sites I had already built. Everything nameable is listed here, linked where the site is still up.

What is not on this list

Most of what I have built is not on this page. Everything nameable is listed above and cross-checked against my Toptal profile. The rest breaks down like this — agency work where the end client is not mine to name, work under NDA, and sites long since replaced. It still happened, so it is still counted.

41NAMED AND LISTED

Every one with a live link where the site still exists. Some I stopped maintaining a decade ago.

~60NEVER PUBLISHED

Split roughly evenly between NDA work and internal tools, intranets and sites since retired. I can usually describe the shape of the work on a call, just not who it was for.

~10HONESTLY FORGOTTEN

Sixteen years of invoices. I am recovering these from old repositories as I find them.

Want the ones I cannot list?

Most of the NDA work I can describe verbally — the problem, the architecture, the outcome, just not the logo. Ask on the call.
