About
Hi, I'm Robin Wieruch, a freelance full-stack software engineer based in Berlin, working remotely with companies worldwide for over a decade. I hold a Master's degree in computer science and have spent that time building large-scale JavaScript applications for startups and enterprises across multiple industries.
What I Do
I help companies ship products by embedding with their teams as a technical lead, architect, or senior engineer. My expertise centers on React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and AI integration. I've built everything from MVPs for early-stage startups to enterprise platforms for companies.
Books & Open Source
My engineering experience informs my writing. My book The Road to React has helped over 50,000 readers master React through building real-world applications. I've also written The Road to Next for developers ready to build production applications with Next.js.
Beyond the books, my blog serves millions of developers annually with practical tutorials grounded in production experience.
Values & Mission
I care deeply about democratizing tech education globally. The major issue of diversity in our industry is due to inaccessible education for people outside of the western world. That's why I provide free learning material, support purchasing power parity, and donate to causes addressing diversity gaps in tech.
Beyond Code
I'm an avid reader. Some books that have shaped my thinking:
- Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
- Deep Work by Cal Newport
- Give and Take by Adam Grant
- The One Thing by Gary Keller
- On Writing Well by William Zinsser
I used to create electronic music and still love Berlin's music scene. These days, I value deep work and meaningful professional engagement.
Get in Touch
I'm always open to interesting engineering challenges. Whether you need a technical lead for your team, an architect for a new product, or an engineer to help ship AI-powered features, feel free to reach out.
