Lance Keay, senior full‑stack developer
Full-stack developer and DevOps engineer, taking contract work. The CV comes as a PDF or a Word file, last updated November 2026.
Full stack, from interface to servers
I work across the whole stack: the interface people use, the API behind it, the database under that, and the pipelines and servers that ship and run it. I am most useful where one person needs to own a system from the first commit to the first incident.
The reviews on this site come from the same habit. I install the tool, use it on real work and write down what it costs and what broke, the way I would brief a client before they commit to it.
