About Alex Rankin

I'm the founding engineer at Omage and the technical lead at N4. Most of my work is full-stack product engineering with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js and Supabase.

I also build design systems, tune web performance, and shape front-end architecture. Some projects call for Webflow rather than a custom stack, and I work in that too.

I work close to the product. I prefer small teams where the person writing the code also owns the decision behind it.

I take on freelance projects, retainers and consulting. That usually means a new product build, a rebuild of an existing front end, or technical leadership for a team that needs direction.

I started in real-time 3D and motion. I built games in Unity, modelled in Autodesk Maya, and worked in motion design and VFX. Incubus, a 3D side-scrolling runner, came out of that period.

That background still shows in how I build for the web. I think about frame budgets, motion, and how an interface feels under the hand.

I'm based in Sydney, New South Wales. I work with clients across Australia and New Zealand, and remotely beyond both.

Send me the shape of the problem and a rough timeline. I answer every genuine enquiry.
