I'm Malcolm, a freelance web developer and founder of Malcolm Solutions, based in East Sussex. I specialise in building modern, user-centric websites and lightweight web apps that balance technical precision with creative design. My work spans everything from branding and layout design, email authentication, and serverless API integration—ensuring that every part of a project, from front-end polish to backend reliability, works seamlessly. Over the past few years, I’ve led projects that required hands-on problem-solving, iterative design, and deep attention to detail. I’ve built modular animation systems for service pages, resolved complex Next.js deployment issues. I’m also actively expanding my skills in AI integration for web development, always looking for practical ways to enhance user experience and business functionality. What sets me apart is my ability to work independently while staying highly communicative and responsive. I approach each project with a calm, focused mindset and a commitment to delivering solutions that are not only functional but thoughtfully crafted. Whether it's troubleshooting a tricky layout or refining a workflow, I bring persistence, clarity, and a collaborative spirit to every engagement.
