What I do

Contract Umbraco and .NET work, remote across the UK. Most often alongside an agency team, sometimes direct with the client.

  • Umbraco builds

    New sites and features on current Umbraco and .NET, including backoffice extensions and custom importers. Certified, and I've worked on every version from 7 to 17.

  • Upgrades and migrations

    Umbraco 7/8 sites brought up to date, and content moved across from other CMSs. The unglamorous work that keeps a site supported and safe to change.

  • Support and maintenance

    Fixes, features, hosting and deploys for live sites. I've looked after ten-plus at once, so a support queue alongside project work is normal for me.

  • Extra hands

    Sold more work than your team can carry? I can pick up a project in your repo and your process, and hand back code your team can own.

About

I'm Zed Barker-Flower, a certified Umbraco developer based in Kent. I've spent ten years in agencies, starting as an apprentice and working up to looking after ten-plus live sites at once, remotely for the last few.

What I'm best at is the unglamorous part: Umbraco 8 upgrades, moving content out of other CMSs, and getting old codebases back to a state a team can work in. I'm comfortable talking to clients directly, and just as happy working inside your process.

Outside work I build small tools, like Chrome extensions, Node libraries and Puppeteer scrapers, and spend too long fixing my car and motorbike.

Happy to send it. It isn't on the open web because it has my contact details on it.
