The Team (me)

James Irwin

James Irwin

B.A. Liberal Arts, St. John’s College Santa Fe

I am a creative, passionate freelance developer with proven skills in media and technology. My broad background (music, philosophy, theatre) puts me in a unique position to tackle new problems. Emphasizing learning and insight, I use my diversity to focus on big-picture thinking and eliminating what’s not essential.

What I Do

Web applications — From augmenting a simple marketing site with additional functionality to implementing full-stack applications, this is my speciality.

Internal administrative tools — If your team is hacking their way through multi-step manual processes, let me help ease your pain.

Progressive Web Applications — For mobile, desktop, or both, PWAs are a great way to create responsive, performant tools that can often replace native applications (and even work offline).

App integrations — Instead of copying and pasting things from Excel into your legacy systems, let me connect the pieces and increase your team’s productivity.

CMSs — I can set up lightweight, lightning-fast Content Management Systems for your customer-facing websites.

Data vizualizations, dashboards, and insights — Gain greater insight into how your business or project is doing by aggregating information from disparate data sources and platforms.
