About
One experienced hand,
end to end.
Hefin Sankala — independent consultant developer. I work with businesses that need serious technical work done properly: without agency overhead, layers of account management, or the project quietly passed down to the least experienced person in the room.
Background
First-class honours degree from Manchester Metropolitan University, then into industry at Logica — a multinational technology consultancy — building SharePoint, ASP.NET and .NET solutions for enterprise clients. Over fifteen years on from that first role, the through-line is the same: well-built web systems for businesses that depend on them.
Working independently now means small enough to actually do the work, experienced enough to be trusted with the difficult parts, and accountable to the person paying for it rather than to a reporting line.
What I work with
The work is deliberately broad. Deep on the Microsoft side — SharePoint, the wider .NET family (ASP.NET, .NET Core), migrations, Power Platform integration — alongside long mileage in open-source web stacks and e-commerce, including WooCommerce and Shopify.
That breadth is the point. Most real projects don't sit cleanly inside one technology box; they need someone who can move between them, see how the pieces fit, and make a sensible call about which tool earns its place. A generalist's range, with a consultant developer's bias toward shipping things that work — and keep working.
Where I work from
Based in Mid Wales — a quiet corner of the country that turns out to be an excellent place to think clearly and ship carefully. Engagements run remotely by default, with on-site time when a project genuinely benefits from it. Clients are UK and international.
