Business-minded builder turning real-world problems into elegant, scalable solutions. Product-Centric Approach Former e-commerce and operations strategist (3+ years), now a Le Wagon-trained Ruby on Rails developer. I bridge tech and business by: Building tools that simplify complex workflows (e.g. Clairbnb, a booking app that reduced admin workload by 30%). Crafting UI-sensitive, maintainable code (e.g. Vibevault, an e-commerce MVP for a music gear startup). Leveraging cross-functional experience to ship fast, communicate clearly, and align tech with stakeholder needs. Recent Projects Clairbnb – Airbnb-style booking platform with dynamic search and Stripe integration. Vibevault – E-commerce MVP (Rails + Hotwire) with product filtering and admin dashboard. Twitter Clone – Scalable microblogging app with real-time updates (Stimulus + ActionCable). Why Work With Me? Business empathy: I speak both “developer” and “stakeholder.” Pragmatic collaborator: Focused on delivering value, not just code. Always learning: Active in open source, constantly refining my craft. Open to: Part-time / Full-time contracts, Full-time employment (Junior / Mid roles) Based in: Paris, France (GMT+1) | Remote-friendly

What Makes Me Different: What distinguishes me as an engineer is my unique journey through financial systems architecture combined with a relentless focus on observability and quality. While most developers build features, I build confidence - creating systems where you not only know when something breaks, but why it broke and how to fix it. My engineering approach was forged in the high-stakes environment of processing $100M+ daily financial transactions, where 99.999% uptime wasn't a goal but a requirement. This experience taught me that truly resilient systems aren't just well-architected; they're well-observed, well-tested, and well-documented. I've transformed chaotic codebases into comprehensible systems by establishing monitoring standards, comprehensive test suites, and clear documentation that empowers entire engineering teams. Where I truly excel is bridging the gap between complex technical implementations and business value. While many engineers can build impressive systems, I create sustainable architectures that solve real business problems. At a major top 4 US Financial corporation, I didn't just modernize a Rails platform; I enabled new financial products that directly increased revenue while reducing fraud by 35%. This business-focused mindset means I approach engineering challenges not just asking "how do we build this?" but "why are we building this and how will it create value?" My passion for mentorship has led me to develop a framework for growing junior engineers that has consistently helped them advance to senior roles in half the typical time. By creating structured growth plans combined with hands-on pairing sessions focused on system design principles, I've helped eight engineers dramatically accelerate their careers. I believe that building great engineers is as important as building great software - both are essential for long-term success. What truly sets me apart is my ability to transform complexity into clarity. Whether it's untangling a legacy codebase, explaining technical constraints to product teams, or documenting intricate system interactions, I excel at making the complicated understandable. This talent for simplification doesn't just make me a better engineer; it makes everyone around me more effective.

With 10+ years of Ruby on Rails expertise, I don’t just build applications—I engineer scalable, maintainable systems that solve real business problems. My journey began as a curious developer tinkering with Rails, and over the years, I’ve evolved into a problem-solver who bridges technical complexity with business value. One of my proudest achievements was optimizing multi-tenant database migrations by 75%, introducing rigorous security checks, automated code analysis, and comprehensive test coverage—ensuring reliability at scale. I’ve also turbocharged report generation by refining ActiveRecord queries and leveraging PostgreSQL optimizations, slashing load times while maintaining data integrity. Beyond coding, I thrive on efficiency and reusability. When integrating third-party APIs, I don’t just glue them together—I built my own Ruby gem to encapsulate logic, making future integrations faster and cleaner. Staying ahead of the curve is second nature: I run a weekly tech newsletter to keep my team (and myself) updated on Rails, Hotwire, and PostgreSQL advancements, ensuring we’re always leveraging the best tools. What truly sets me apart is my blend of deep technical skill and strategic thinking. I don’t just write code—I architect solutions that are secure, performant, and maintainable, while mentoring teams to raise the bar collectively. If you need a developer who ships high-quality software and elevates those around them, let’s talk. 🚀

Hi, I'm a Ruby on Rails Developer with over 7 years of experience. Please take a look at my resume (Google Drive link). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zvakiEWg1rYuPKq1Rq_KtC5f63WMYOXo Let's discuss my experience and your project in detail. Best, Ammar

I’m a product-minded developer who builds with the business’s needs front of mind. Ruby on Rails is my tool of choice because it’s the fastest way to turn ideas into impact. Its opinionated structure enables consistent delivery and makes it easier to scale teams without reinventing the wheel. Over the past decade, I’ve led and contributed to projects that not only ship but drive significant business impact In one internal platform modernization project, leadership projected needing 16 full time employees after the rebuild. Four years later, the same team of four was still using the software productively saving the company 12 full time employees. I also look beyond the technical tasks to spot leveraged opportunities. On a recent project, I identified a low-priority feature that, if built more robustly upfront, could unlock internal productivity. That decision now saves every employee 30 minutes a day, which results in thousands of hours a year saved. I thrive when building internal platforms, business efficiency, and moving fast to get the business impact as quickly as possible.

Started at sixteen through curiosity and tutorials from simple HTML and CSS to frameworks. With the single goal of creating a start-up that was the dream.

Hi! My journey in software started during university, I have a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering and that’s where I had my first contact with Ruby, back when Rails was on version 3, during that time I co-founded a junior enterprise with some classmates. The idea was to apply our learnings building small systems for local businesses, using Rails, PostgreSQL, Heroku, and RSpec. And from there I never stopped learning, for the past 8 years I've worked in so many different projects for big companies like GoDaddy (U.S.A.) and Trainline (EU) and I'm sure I'll have many other challenges to overcome.

I am a builder and love it when my creations provide real-life value. I enjoy writing ruby and creating software using rails.
