Full Stack Software Engineer specialising in React, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, APIs and n8n automation. I’m Sean Walker, a UK developer with 20+ years of experience building web applications, data platforms and business systems. Most recently, I designed, developed and launched Pinloco end-to-end — a production React/Next.js platform serving 7,300+ business listings, backed by PostgreSQL, Stripe integrations, REST APIs and self-hosted n8n workflows. The platform was architected, built and deployed entirely by me. My strengths span the full stack, from frontend development and backend services through to database design, system integration, API development and workflow automation. I’m equally comfortable building customer-facing products, internal tools and connected systems that rely on APIs, webhooks and automated processes. I enjoy taking ownership of projects from architecture and development through to deployment and ongoing operation, with a focus on delivering reliable, maintainable software that solves real business problems.
