Hi, I'm James. Newbie to Contra but not to freelancing!
I am a front-end developer and mobile app developer based in Canada (Eastern Time). I have 6+ years of professional experience and have been a Shopify partner since 2015. I mainly work with JavaScript, TypeScript, React Native and Next.js, but also have experience with Node.js, Python and MongoDB.
I currently have an open-source mobile app on GitHub called Shu Ha Ri Engine. This is a learning tool that embodies the Shu Ha Ri approach to learning (beginner, advanced, mastery). It uses React Native and modern JavaScript/TypeScript. One key feature is that the app is privacy-first — no account required, no personal information collected, no footprint. Just open the app, select your pack and start learning.
This project and others can be found on my personal website: https://jameszedd.com
I am open to new connections and collaborations here on Contra. If you are starting a new project or working on an existing one, let's connect and talk about what is possible.

Imagine sending someone a link and saying, “This is my business.”
I made this 30-second film for Launch in Seven’s new Business Idea to First Launch service. It shows an illustrative plant-care idea becoming a clear offer, a mobile-friendly page, an inquiry path and outreach drafts.
The $1,500 fixed package includes one offer brief, one responsive landing page, one connected inquiry form, three outreach drafts and one consolidated revision. Domain and hosting costs are separate. Scope, inputs and delivery date are agreed before we start.
Explore the package or message me with your idea and who it helps:

Original illustrative example, not a client commission or sales result. Custom motion, generated imagery, narration and original music.

AUREN — Premium Storefront
Built a premium e-commerce storefront from scratch, focused on clean product presentation, responsive design, and a simple shopping experience.
Built with Next.js, React, CSS, and Cloudinary.

Glad it was useful. I’d keep that line compact near the CTA—something like “Ships in X–Y days · 30-day returns”—and link to the full policy. It answers a key risk question without interrupting the premium feel. The storefront already has a strong base.
