Senior/Lead Eng/Co-Founder: Deep rails experience that comes with empathy, humor, and a bit of chaos

Recently updated

Seasoned code wrangler with over a decade in Ruby on Rails and a past life as a social worker and policy researcher. I've got a knack for translating geek speak for humans and wrangling stakeholder needs into delighted users and maintainable code. Looking to land in a place where code meets impact. Full stack developer that has spent over a decade in the Ruby/Rails ecosystem. I lean ops to backend, but I can get in there and wrangle JS components and CSS if need be. I often wear at least a little bit of a product manager hat, have been a team lead on large projects, and I even try to remember to write documentation and technical briefs. I'm longwinded in slack, shy in person, didactic and friendly in code reviews, and occasionally down a rabbithole. Loves: Wrangling weird bugs and annoying APIs, refactoring, clear code (for the humans) and good tests (for the robots), figuring out the best places to deliver maximum impact and shipping quickly, teaching myself new things, compassionate communication and collaboration with multiple stockholders, making weird things happen in the CI pipeline Special superpowers: T-shaped generalist that still geeks out on learning new things, sniffing out something that isn't a problem yet but definitely will be (and I don't mean premature optimization), care a lot about readable code. Worked as a social worker for a decade, there's more soft skills than people might think in getting software out the door. Not so loves: JS in general, jerks, arrogance, watching junior developers not get the support they need and thinking it is their fault, refreshing staging for an hour wondering why my debugger isn't getting hit. -- Have worked in startups at all stages of their life cycle as both an introverted grumpy solo developer and team leader, helped make product decisions, mentored other developers, deleted prod a few times, etc. I chafe a bit at schedules, but occasionally I'll figure out a big that would have been a big problem in the future at 3am and just fix it. Love fixing those things. I can meeting during normal human hours though. -- Open to short and long term contracts and FTE for the right fit. Prefer chill flat organizations where everyone likes and respects each other and just gets stuff done. I've shipped features faster at those organizations than any that were focused on relentless hustle. -- Tell me why you believe in your tech and I'll tell you about one of my weird side projects like a Led Zeppelin button or a confessional that floats in the air. -- Have PhD level statistics classes buried in my brain somewhere, know my way around python and some data analysis, have built ETL pipelines - if it has to be done, I'll try to figure out a way to get it done. And the longer you hang around this world, you realize the most important programming language is being able to talk to people in kind and useful ways. -- Senior enough to know that sometimes it's the code you don't write that solves the problem ;) Junior enough to still get excited every time I make LEDs blink with magic words.

Hi! I'm Liz 👋🏼 I'm about as full-stack 🥞 as they come. I started as a QA and automation engineer and now I'm a senior full-stack engineer focusing on Rails and React. Early on as a QA I worked on projects from writing SQL scripts to check data, to automation engineering, to React Native applications, and even helping implement Kafka instances and a team transition to Kubernetes. Then I moved on to development, mostly focusing on Rails / React stacks. I also am very comfortable working in Python. Now I've been a full stack developer for a few years, always carrying my QA mindset with me. I love exploring the ins and outs of a problem, and figuring out where I can pick it apart and expose weaknesses. I'm really great at building relationships with stakeholders, establishing trust and cooperation so that we can all move forward with a project in a very pragmatic way. Pairing with coworkers is always very enjoyable for me. I like the collaboration, but I really value the mentorship the most. Teaching juniors git has become a mainstay for me, as well as coaching them to maintain a calm mindset while debugging, encouraging them to move through issues in a systematic way. And of course I always fit in robust testing, showing folks how to create test suites and pipeline automation that will improve their workflow. Let's talk about how I can contribute to your team and stack 🙌🏻

I’m a Rails developer with over 12 years of experience in software development, including 10+ years working hands-on with Ruby on Rails. Along the way, I’ve built all kinds of applications—automation tools, ERPs, inventory management systems, insurtech platforms, social media apps, and even AI-integrated solutions. I’ve always focused on creating large-scale, high-performance apps that can handle thousands of concurrent records without breaking a sweat. I’ve worked with both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases, making sure they’re set up for speed and scalability. On the backend, I’m well-versed in Sidekiq and RabbitMQ for background processing, and on the frontend, I use tools like Hotwire, Turbo, and Stimulus to make apps fast and interactive. When it comes to deployment, I’ve got plenty of experience with Google Cloud, AWS, and Fly.io, which lets me build infrastructure that’s as reliable as it is scalable. The recent apps I've developed have included AI integration with OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. At present, I'm also setting up an internal LLM for speeding up software development. What makes me stand out? I code fast. Really fast. I’m great at taking an idea from zero to a fully functioning app in just days, without cutting corners on quality. Having worked in Asia and Europe, I’ve learned how to adapt to different clients and challenges, which helps me deliver exactly what’s needed, every time. Recently, I co-founded my own software consulting firm, where I get to use my skills and experience to help businesses grow and succeed. Outside of coding, I’m passionate about dogs, I love solving crosswords, and I’m a bit of a political nerd. These hobbies keep my mind sharp and my creativity flowing, which is probably why I enjoy tackling complex coding challenges. I know Ruby and Rails inside out, and I thrive on turning big ideas into reality—quickly and efficiently. If you need someone who can hit the ground running and deliver results, I’m your developer.
