Top SchoolZachary Freiberg is a Lead Full Stack Developer based in Christchurch with 12 years of experience blending game-focused front-end engineering and production VFX tooling.

Now leading full-stack development at EzyStream, Zachary brings a rare combination of real-time interactive experience and film-grade technical rigour to web and application projects. He’s equally comfortable prototyping gameplay input/animation systems as he is architecting maintainable backend/frontend solutions, and enjoys applying game-design sensibilities to solve complex software problems. An educator at heart, he has tutored university game design courses and authored engine tutorials, which underlines his strength in translating complex tech into clear, usable tools.
