Hire a Next.js Developer
I'm Nixon Marrasquin, a senior Next.js developer. I build fast, SEO-ready apps on the App Router, with the right rendering strategy per page, real Core Web Vitals, and a backend when you need one. Remote, GMT-5, USD, hired directly.
A Next.js specialist, not just a React dev
Next.js rewards people who actually understand its rendering model. I choose static, server-rendered or incrementally regenerated per route, so the app is fast on first paint and shows up in search, instead of shipping a heavy client bundle that renders blank until JS loads.
- App Router, React Server Components, streaming and Suspense
- Static, SSR and ISR chosen deliberately per route
- Server Actions and Route Handlers for app logic
- Metadata API, sitemaps and structured data baked in
Performance and SEO that actually moves numbers
A pretty site that loads slowly loses users and rankings. I optimise for Core Web Vitals and for how Google and AI crawlers read the page, because on Next.js those are the same problem solved on the server.
- LCP, INP and CLS measured and improved, not guessed
- Smaller client bundles by moving work to Server Components
- Image, font and caching strategy tuned for real devices
- Crawlable, indexable HTML for Google and AI answer engines
Frontend and backend under one roof
Most Next.js projects need more than the UI. I can own the data layer too, so you don't have to coordinate two contractors who blame each other.
- Next.js Route Handlers and Server Actions
- NestJS, Node, PostgreSQL, GraphQL and REST when you need a real API
- Auth, payments, dashboards and third-party integrations
How we'd work together
Low-friction onboarding inside your team and your repo. I adapt to your conventions, not the other way around.
- Your repo, branching model, Git and PR reviews from day one
- Standard contractor agreement with full IP assignment
- Full-time, ongoing contract, or a scoped Next.js build/migration
Frequently Asked Questions
What teams ask before bringing on a Next.js developer.
What exactly do you do with Next.js that a generic React dev doesn't?
I build on the App Router with React Server Components, streaming and Suspense, and I pick the right rendering strategy per route: static, SSR, or ISR. That means pages that are fast on the first byte, cheap to serve, and crawlable by Google and AI engines out of the box, not a client-only bundle that renders blank until JavaScript loads.
Can you fix a slow or badly-scoring Next.js app?
Yes. I audit Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), trim client bundles, move work to the server, add caching and ISR where it helps, and fix hydration and waterfall issues. I can take an existing Next.js codebase and make it measurably faster without a rewrite.
Do you handle the backend too, or only the Next.js frontend?
Both. Next.js Route Handlers and Server Actions for the app itself, plus NestJS/Node, PostgreSQL and GraphQL/REST when a project needs a dedicated API. You can hire me to own the whole thing end to end.
Which Next.js versions and features are you current on?
I work day-to-day with the latest App Router (Next.js 14/15/16), Server Components, Server Actions, Partial Prerendering, the Metadata API, route caching and Turbopack. I keep up with releases because rendering defaults change often and getting them wrong is expensive.
What time zone and billing should we expect?
I'm in Ecuador on permanent GMT-5, the same as US Eastern with no daylight saving, so we share working hours all year. Contracts are billed in USD (Ecuador is dollarized) and you hire me directly, with no agency or marketplace markup.
Full-time, contract, or a single project?
Any of them. A full-time remote seat, an ongoing contract, or a fixed Next.js build/migration. Tell me the scope and I'll give you a realistic timeline and start date, usually within a week or two.
