Hire junior Ruby on Rails developers in France

I started learning Ruby on Rails because I wanted to bring my ideas to life by creating simple and effective web applications. What I love most is building projects that make sense and can truly be useful to people. I first created my personal website with Jekyll to share what I do and what inspires me. Then, I developed Quotety, a project that is close to my heart, and now I’m working on creating a game, a new challenge that pushes me to learn even more. At the same time, I’m also the founder of the podcast Art au Féminin, where I give a voice to women passionate about art. This project is important to me because it combines my interest in creativity and my desire to highlight female voices. Every day, I’m motivated by the desire to learn, grow, and contribute to projects that reflect who I am. I’m excited to join a team where I can continue to develop while making a meaningful impact.

With a creative background, I dove into Ruby six years ago for a project related to my original profession. I got hooked and have been coding daily ever since, working on various personal projects published on the web. These projects have had varying levels of success, but they inspired me to transition into a professional career in development. In 2024, I earned both the Silver and Gold Ruby Association Certifications (June and October, respectively), which solidified my passion for venturing into the Ruby world professionally. I work with the classic stack, including Stimulus/Hotwire on the front end, but I’m more than happy to jump on the React or Vue train when needed. When it comes to deployment, I’ve used PAAS platforms and direct setups with SystemD services running Foreman processes behind Nginx. Testing? RSpec is my go-to. Along the way, I’ve harnessed classic utilities like Redis for key-value storage, Vips for faster image processing, and, of course, relational databases.

I’m a designer-turned-developer with a background in customer service from Apple, blending a passion for user experience with strong technical skills. With expertise in Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, and React, I build full-stack applications and seamless front-end experiences. I founded Bordeaux.rb to connect local developers and share knowledge. I thrive in end-to-end project ownership, from design to deployment, using tools like Kamal for smooth CI/CD. My unique edge lies in bridging the gap between design and code, delivering clean, maintainable solutions that delight users and solve real problems.

🌱 1.5 years experience as a developer (Permanent, Entrepreneurship, Freelance) Depozen: Permanent contract, I was focused on notifications and API integrations. Youclub (activities/clubs search engine): Initiated by my frustration with inefficient Google searches for local clubs, I envisioned and developed a dedicated app using a Ruby GraphQL API and React Native client, with web views integrated into the Rails codebase. Challenges : finding an API to query for to seed my app. Ensure data integrity between models and graphQL types. Challenges were about improving performance of query . Still improves to make. Despite its potential, it was a commercial failure, leading me to flush the database and remove it from Heroku. I later redeployed it in its MVP state for demonstration purposes. Co-founded Musicast: A platform for music competition organizers. After my co-founder departed due to loss of faith in the project, I continued alone, securing early clients before coding the entire SaaS from scratch. This included features like user roles, workflows, AI capabilities, and a dynamic planning generator which I believe is my most complex work due to its customizable settings. I chose not to commercialize it as handling customer support, marketing, sales, product design, and coding alone was overwhelming, particularly in a niche market. This led me to resume my job search. Recently: Diving deeper into Ruby methods to better understand how it works under the hood. Last very interesting moment was re-coding the belongs_to method in Rails with TDD. Current Learning: Diving into Swift during my free time to expand my mobile development skills. (Stanford course) Interests: I have a thing for projects with a mobile component. I am keen on tackling larger-scale projects and deeper Rails functionalities, areas I haven’t explored in my personal projects. Improving performances is an area that I like too. I attend every Paris.rb and React Native Paris events. Career Aspirations: Looking for a collaborative team with structured processes, code reviews, and a senior mentor to further my growth.

Additionally, I have remained up-to-date with Rails' new features, including Hotwire, and have expanded my skills and knowledge as a premium member of GoRails.
