Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolReuben Harcourt is a Lead Software Engineer with eight years building full-stack TypeScript products for startups, from serverless backends and GraphQL to polished Next.js frontends. He combines hands-on coding (tRPC, Prisma, Planetscale, Vercel) with product-minded UX and marketing experience, having rebuilt legacy systems and launched community-driven apps that were later acquired. Comfortable leading small teams, he focuses on pragmatic architecture, iterative delivery, and translating technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. Reuben’s side projects and hobbyist roots in game design inform his work on a Kickstarter-backed TCG and a deck-building platform, bringing a user-centered lens to complex feature design. Based in New Zealand, he pairs a philosophy BA and a software bootcamp background with a passion for tabletop games, mountain biking, and craft beer—small details that surface his collaborative, community-first approach.
