back to the deskAvailable for contract work

Let’s build something worth shipping.

I’m a senior full-stack engineer working as a contractor. I’m currently engaged and considering the next one. Here’s what I’m looking for, and how to reach me.

What I’m looking for

Contract engagements

Full-time hours, but not a full-time role. Project-based or a longer retainer, both work.

Fully remote, any timezone

I’m comfortable working hours that overlap whichever team I’m joining, wherever it is.

Senior IC or Staff / Tech Lead

Open to leadership scope that still expects to ship code. Greenfield product work is where I do my best thinking.

Architecture from day one

Making the early calls, deciding what to build, and orchestrating the cross-team work it depends on.

Stack

Strongest on TypeScript and React. Comfortable across the stack with Node, Postgres, AWS, and event-driven systems (Kafka, event sourcing) from my time at MATTR. Recent work has leaned heavily into AI-assisted development with Claude: faster shipping after exhaustive planning.

How to reach me

Email contact@reb.nz and tell me about the work, the timeline, and what success looks like. For context on the kind of work I do, the writing and projects on the homepage are the best signal.
