About me
I am Reedik Lindau. I have been writing code since 2009, I live on Saaremaa, and I work from there with clients across Estonia and beyond.
The person behind the code
Hello
Hi, I’m Reedik
I live on Saaremaa, an island off the west coast of Estonia, and I build for the web. It started in 2009 at Haapsalu College; my first real job was at the Tallinn agency Velvet in 2012, then came Swedbank and Bind Creative. Since 2019 I have worked under my own name.
I like things that are simple and that work. No extra layer in between, no meetings that could have been an email. You talk directly to me — the person who also writes the code.
These days I write code alongside an AI assistant. Routine work lands faster, which leaves more time for the part that actually matters: how the thing is meant to work, and whether it really works for you.

Away from the desk
In 2018 and 2019 I packed a backpack and worked my way through France, England, Scotland, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand and Spain. After all that it seemed clear that the best place was Saaremaa after all — so I moved back.
Path
How I got here
From Taritu school to Tallinn, out into the world and back to Saaremaa — the whole route on one page.
1997
Schoolboy
The road to knowledge started at Taritu school on Saaremaa.
2009–2012
Student
Three years behind a computer at Tallinn University Haapsalu College, falling for programming. Applied higher education, bachelor level.
2012
Programmer
Diploma in hand, I moved to Tallinn and landed an internship at Velvet, one of the finest agencies around, who turned a student into a professional.
2012–2013
Corporal
The Estonian Defence Forces called in between — eleven months with the Guard Battalion.
2013–2015
Web developer
Service done, I wanted to see how things work inside Estonia’s largest bank. My time at Swedbank was as instructive as it was enjoyable.
2015–2019
Programmer
With the Bind Creative crew there was both sweat and tears — big projects and good trips in equal measure.
2018–2019
Traveller
I packed a backpack and worked my way through a few countries: France, England, Scotland, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand and Spain. The code kept shipping along the way.

Made with Reedik
I moved back to Saaremaa and now build websites, applications and online stores under my own name — for clients across Estonia and further afield.
Technology
What I work with
I pick the tool to fit the job, not the trend. A small content site does not need the same machinery as an online store with half a dozen integrations.
