About
I'm Joseph Pire — a full-stack developer and designer based in Belgium. I build digital products end-to-end: design, frontend, backend, infrastructure. I work mostly with founders and small teams who need a senior generalist rather than three specialists.
My stack rotates around TypeScript, Astro, Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL — but the stack is rarely the interesting part. The interesting part is the trade-offs: what to build, what not to build, what to ship now versus what to defer.
Before going freelance I worked on internal tools, e-commerce platforms, and an NFC SaaS that's still in production. I read a lot, sleep enough, and try to write more than I tweet.
How I work
Fixed price for fixed scope. Day rate for ongoing work. No vague hourly contracts that drift.
Async by default, weekly calls if useful. No 9 AM standups, no Slack pings on Sundays.
I prefer 80%-perfect in production to 100%-perfect on staging. Iteration beats anticipation.
I pick proven tools by default. Novelty is a tax — I only pay it when the win is clear.
