Hire c-level Ruby on Rails developers in Canada

I am a passionate technical expert, software craftsman, entrepreneur and mentor. I offer hands on experience in solving business problems, making software, and building engineer- ing teams that make software. I analyze business needs and take on the responsibility of ensuring strategically significant business results. I practice, implement and lead using proven software engineering techniques to ensure quality, accelerated delivery of working software.

What makes me unique as a developer is the blend of purpose, adaptability, and real-world impact that drives my work. I didn’t get into software development simply to build cool apps — I started coding to solve problems that matter to people. From streamlining administrative systems for local government in Zimbabwe to creating an online marketplace that helps small businesses sell car parts more effectively, my projects are always rooted in tangible value and usability. One of my recent accomplishments is developing a digital change-of-use permit system for Harare City Council using Ruby on Rails. What makes this special isn’t just the tech stack — it’s the fact that I took a bureaucratic, paper-heavy process and transformed it into something efficient, trackable, and accessible. It’s a small but meaningful contribution toward digital transformation in a context where it's needed most. I’m passionate about building platforms that empower communities, particularly in underserved markets. Whether it’s launching PartsToGo, a growing car parts marketplace in Zimbabwe, or conceptualizing platforms like TendersZimbabwe, I love taking on the kind of challenges where impact matters more than hype. I bring not only the technical skills — full-stack development, systems thinking, clean and maintainable code — but also a strong sense of empathy and purpose to every line I write. I thrive where others may hesitate: limited resources, unclear paths, and bold ideas. My strength lies in turning vision into product, especially when the goal is to make life easier, more efficient, and more just for real people.

After bootstrapping and exiting a successful Rails SaaS as both principal engineer and CTO, I decided to focus back on my passion for engineering and architecture. I joined a remote-only startup building a new product with the goal of using the traditional Rails paradigms along with tried and tested technology to quickly get a comprehensive product to market. That "keep it simple" approach got the product into the hands of some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Feature development turned into performance and growth engineering, again, using the same mentality of finding the simplest most effective approach. I am an excellent generalist with experience in most traditional Rails stacks from backend to frontend and able to easily adapt to new technologies (but only where warranted!) I enjoy the challenge of a fast paced startup world of executing on ideas and providing solutions for customers problems with quick deployment and iterative improvements.

Hi there, I discovered Rails before it was mainstream and have been in love with it ever since. I've now been doing Rails development for over 20 years and worked in many industries including banking, health care, parks and recreation, travel and real estate among others.

Multiple careers - started development in 2004 - and by 2005 I was on Rails. Ruby/Rails has been my goto tech since then. M.Sc. degree(s) in multiple tech domains. Over the years, I've had my own business ventures, led tech teams, mentored young-lings and peers, delved in ML and AI and still curious to this day. I'm passionate about AI and the new-wave of AI-capable solutions. I'm creating my first few RAG solutions. I can delve deep and talk business at the same time.

I’m a full-stack developer with over 10 years of experience, focused on building SaaS applications. I work mostly with Ruby on Rails, React and Postgres, and I’ve handled everything from backend to deployment to analytics. I’ve built and maintained apps like HTTPScout, an uptime monitor, doing everything from writing the code to setting up the infrastructure. I enjoy taking on big projects, and I’m used to figuring things out as I go. I’ve run my own small ventures, worked as an engineering manager at PagerDuty, and understand both the technical and business sides of software. I like clean, simple solutions that work. I’m also experienced with DevOps and prefer keeping things well-documented. If you need someone who can build and launch a project end-to-end, I'd love to chat.

Programming professionally for 20 years. I've spent the last 4.5 years as Backend Lead at Pexels, and previously held lead roles at HYP3R and TalentNest. Primarily interested in backend Team Lead or Engineering Lead positions. Looking for a fully remote role. I am very passionate about software engineering, writing maintainable, testable and clean code that follows good architectural practices. I began as a self-taught programmer as a preteen, and worked as a freelance developer through high school and university. That led to a career in multiple industries (including construction, applicant tracking software, social media and currently stock photography), and a fast rise from individual contributor to tech lead and beyond. In order to give back to the Ruby community, I began heavily contributing to RuboCop (a Ruby linter with 300 million downloads that is a key piece of the toolset for most Ruby developers), culminating being invited to become a core team member at the beginning of 2021. I have held lead seniority roles for more than 12 years. As a manager, I see myself as a developer advocate, and spend a lot of time focusing on the happiness and productivity of my staff. Currently I am the Backend Lead at Pexels. In this capacity at a small company, I have a wide variety of responsibilities, including: Architect, plan, implement, test and ship large complex features and build out process Help non-engineers plan, scope and estimate their projects and participate in organization-wide product planning Triage and respond to security issues in code and infrastructure, including running a bug bounty program Manage and mentor a team of backend engineers of all levels. Procure and negotiate with vendors, including saving the company tens of thousands of dollars in hosting costs Looking forward to hearing from you!

I'm a man of many hats - I design things, code apps and more. I've worked with mom and pop shops to banking, hospitality and healthcare industries.

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer and AI Engineer with strong Development Knowledge and a high intend to enhance my knowledge and adopt the dynamic aspects of the IT Industry. I started my career as a full-stack web developer in mid-2015. The tools that we use and the capabilities of my development skills started changing every day. Now I am experienced in Full Stack Development and ML Engineer as well. I am comfortable on both sides. I am working remotely with US clients since 4+ years. Hope you will love working with me when we get started.
