👋 Hi, I’m Dustin Heaps.I build fast, modern web apps — and never stop shipping.

With 5+ years of experience in React, TypeScript, and Next.js, I specialize in crafting high-performance, front-end experiences and full-stack SaaS platforms. From intuitive UIs to scalable architecture, I bring a builder’s mindset to every project — focused on shipping clean code, fast sites, and results that convert.

Let’s Work Together

01. About me

Hey — I’m Dustin, a web developer who’s been obsessed with building for the web since writing my first “Hello World” back in 2013. That spark turned into a full-on career, and for the past 5+ years I’ve worked professionally with modern stacks like React, TypeScript, and Next.js.

At TxMQ, I’ve gained deep experience shipping scalable apps, optimizing performance, and solving real problems for users. But I don’t just ship features — I care about the why behind them. My goal is to build fast, intuitive, and reliable experiences that actually deliver value.

Whether I’m optimizing a production app or launching a solo SaaS from scratch, I bring curiosity, speed, and a strong product mindset to every project.
