Hire principal / staff Ruby on Rails developers in Canada

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.

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.
