About Justin Hubbard

With over 15 years of experience in development, design, and digital strategy, I help people bring ideas to life and scale them with the right technology.My background spans everything from enterprise platforms (Adobe Commerce Cloud/Magento, Laravel, PHP/LAMP) to modern stacks (Next.js, Flutter, Firebase, Directus, WordPress), as well as design and branding tools like Figma and Canva. This mix means I don’t just build products—I help shape the full digital experience.I’ve led projects across UI/UX, full-stack development, and branding, including work at Big Ass Fans and my own startup BarPoppin, where I designed the concept, Next.js dashboard, Directus backend, and system architecture for a streamlined music and cinematic media creative process.What I bring to the table:Business-first mindset — I connect technical builds to real outcomes.Versatility — from quick landing pages to complex apps and dashboards.Startup + enterprise experience — I know how to move fast without breaking what matters.Today, I’m focused on projects where I can deliver meaningful impact. Whether you need to fix bugs, add features, design a user experience, or build something ambitious from the ground up, I bring the skills to bridge tech, design, and business strategy.Also open to select strategic opportunities where I can apply my 17+ years of experience long term.
