Have done & can do full-stack work (helped last company grow from three engineers and through acquisition) but lean towards backend/infrastructure in expertise. Most recently platform technical lead (IC).
MEng EE & CS blend. (No professional EE experience, but somewhat maintained as a hobby.) 8y post-intern experience in web software.
Looking for something new to sink my teeth into in an organisation with room to grow. Remote opportunities only please, and that I'm eligible for residing in the UK & as a British citizen, though I'm perfectly willing to travel for particular events/big meetings. Cheers!
Location: Berlin, Germany, EU
Remote: Ideally yes! But depending on the opportunity I am open to hybrid/onsite
Willing to relocate: Never say never
Technologies: React, Typescript, NodeJS, NextJS, Postgresql, MonogDB, PHP, Supabase, Vercel, and more!

I’m Phil, a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience building high-impact web applications across frontend and backend. I’ve spent my career shipping fast, solving real problems, and turning ideas into real products.
I specialize in React, Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, PostgreSQL, Node.js, and everything required to take a product from prototype → production → scale. I love working where engineering, UX, and product meet — designing features, running growth experiments, and delivering end-to-end systems that actually move the needle.
I see my self as a product engineer as I love to take a problem and go from 0 to production! I take ownership!
I’ve built and launched 10+ products, mostly solo — sharpening my skills across engineering, UX, distribution, and growth. I love creating tools that are useful, weird, or just fun to build. Some of my projects include:
• InterestingBars.com – Unique bars around the world • puzzlepostcards.shop – Send a puzzle postcard • ReclaimDesk.com – Modern lost & found management • UseStockStore.com – Simple inventory management app • DumpIt.app – AI-powered audio note-taking • ChronaGraph – Simple graph workflows for AI • TallyTabby.com – Minimal counting app • QRFeedback.app – Instant customer feedback via a QR code • ShiftingTicTacToe.com – Real-time twist on a classic game • DecodeBodyLanguage.com – AI nonverbal insights

Experience: I specialize in high-stakes backend infrastructure. Most recently at fintech, I led a PostgreSQL partitioning project that cut DB costs by 50% and improved query speeds while maintaining 400+ RPS. I’ve built DR strategies with 0 RPO/10-min RTO and scaled Go-based APIs that handle heavy fintech workloads.
Willing to relocate: For the right fit, NYC or Europe.

Email: luchenbrendan@gmail.com
Known for refactoring ruthlessly, hunting root causes, and fighting for the users often while talking with my hands.
Technologies: Are listed on my resume and gravitate around fullstack. To get past bad filters, I enumerate JavaScript TypeScript React Next.js Node.js Python Tailwind Linux Java Kotlin Android React Native Docker Git PostgreSQL GenAI AgentAI and Supabase.
Seeking: Bonus points for work in Health, Education, or Environmental sectors. Full remote is ideal, but Hybrid 40% in the Boston metro is fair game, and if you are still reading, have a wonderful day and make a stranger smile.
Statement: Hire me for versatility as a polyglot agnostic builder of stuff, mentorship capacity to strengthen your whole team, bulletproof optimism in a fast-paced and uncertain world, a low-maintenance and well-behaved ego, and the occasional classy dad joke (no, I don't have kids).

Over a decade of experience in Senior and Staff engineering roles building scalable systems and user interfaces. I have extensive background working cross functionally in an organization to create and steward technical roadmaps, meet business objectives and keeping teams from hitting technical roadblocks. I help build teams up sustainably and have extensive experience in technical leadership and mentoring peers.
My background for the last 4 years in particular has been on scaling a business, with a general focus on the user experience and technical stability. Taking a product or suite of products from 400 to 40,000 active users without losing control of performance and keeping the user experience approachable is where I shine best. This means addressing performance impacting hot spots, adoption of new tools or improving existing ones, proper A/B testing, gathering user experience data to identify pain points and most importantly empowering teams to move fast sustainably through best practice.
Remote: primarily, willing to travel to meet clients and collaborate

I’m currently active as a senior engineer, software architect, and entrepreneur. Having nearly a decade of experience working with startups and larger, established companies. I provide everything from short architecture reviews to hands-on implementation and full technical ownership.
Recent work includes the design, implementation, and operational ownership of a distributed system for a venture capital platform, as well as the creation and maintenance of a survey fulfillment platform. Both engagements involved mentoring and coordinating multiple engineers. More details can be found at https://robinsiep.com.
I’m primarily looking for contract work, but am also open to a longer-term position with the right fit.
Feel free to reach out at contact [at] robinsiep.com. I’m always happy to talk with others in the industry.
