Hire junior Ruby on Rails developers in United States

Senior Software Developer with 10+ years of experience delivering robust full-stack software solutions. Extensive experience developing with Ruby, (Ruby on Rails, Sinatra), Python (Django, Flask, FastAPI), and Javascript. Proven track record architecting cloud-native applications, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and orchestrating infrastructure. Deep understanding of testing software and continuous delivery systems. Adept at leading Agile teams and modernizing legacy systems to drive scalability, performance, and speed to market.

I majored in mathematics at Penn State, where I worked on simulation and data modeling projects. I found myself drawn more to the coding side than the math itself, and after graduation I pivoted into software development with the goal of building tools that people actually use and rely on. I now work at Alpha Omega Integration on a USCIS project where we’re digitizing the asylum and refugee process. I’ve led a refactor that made our Rails architecture form-agnostic, which prevented a costly split into multiple systems. I also migrated our test suite to Playwright, cutting runtime by over 75 percent and helping us ship with more confidence. Rails has clicked for me because it encourages clean, readable code and rewards long-term thinking. I care about building systems that are easier to reason about, easier to maintain, and easier for others to step into. Whether through thoughtful refactors, clear conventions, or active collaboration, I try to make code better for everyone who works with it.

I'm a full-stack developer with a strong foundation in React and Ruby on Rails, and a track record of building fast, reliable, and user-focused applications for startups. I've contributed to products across fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, and healthcare—adapting quickly, shipping often, and solving real-world problems with clean, scalable code. I thrive in fast-paced environments where collaboration, curiosity, and impact matter most.

Experienced Ruby on Rails developer with nearly 9 years of professional experience designing, building, and maintaining APIs, microservices, and secure transaction systems. Proven track record integrating with major payment providers and delivering clean, well-tested, maintainable code. Strong collaborator with a passion for problem-solving and improving fintech systems.

My Developer Story About Me I’m entirely self-taught—no bootcamp, no CS degree, just a deep curiosity and a drive to build things that matter. My journey started with The Odin Project’s Ruby on Rails curriculum (https://www.theodinproject.com/paths/full-stack-ruby-on-rails), but I quickly realized that real growth comes from rolling up your sleeves and building something from scratch. That’s how PaceMaker (https://pace-maker.onrender.com) was born—a full-featured Rails app for cross-country coaches and athletes, inspired by challenges my dad faced as a coach for over 25 years. Every feature, from real-time team messaging to Strava integration, was shaped by real user needs and continuous feedback. Milestones & Lessons Learned One of my proudest milestones was launching PaceMaker and seeing it actually used by teams to track progress, set goals, and stay connected. Building it solo—while raising a newborn, supporting my wife through nursing school, and working part-time—taught me not just technical skills, but also perseverance, time management, and the value of listening to users. I learned to prioritize clarity, reliability, and simplicity in both code and user experience, and I’m always looking for ways to refine my work as I grow. What Drives Me What excites me most is the opportunity to create tools that make a genuine difference for real people. I love the craft of writing clean, thoughtful code, but I care just as much about the impact of what I build. My experience training new employees in other roles has shaped how I communicate—whether I’m pair programming, writing documentation, or walking through a PR, I aim to make complex ideas accessible and foster real collaboration. I thrive in environments where autonomy, ownership, and thoughtful problem-solving are valued, and I’m always eager to learn something new or tackle a challenge others might shy away from. That’s what I bring to every project and every team I join.

With 5+ years of Rails experience, I come with a wide range of experiences and love to delve into new projects. I am working on a variety of pure Rails apps, leveraging the power of Hotwire and TailwindCSS on the front end. My personal project is https://anecdot.co, a platform for recording, preserving, and sharing life stories.

I’m a junior full stack developer with a strong focus on Ruby on Rails and front-end design. My journey into software development started with a personal desire to create tools that simplify people’s lives — from project management apps to full client websites. What began as curiosity quickly became a passion, and today I’m building full-stack web applications with real-world API integrations, OAuth authentication, PostgreSQL databases, Docker, and clean, mobile-responsive front-end design. Recently, I completed an apprenticeship where I worked on a nonprofit SaaS platform alongside a professional engineering team. There, I deepened my experience with Rails 7, complex database migrations, OAuth token management, Docker containers, and production deployment processes. I also contributed to front-end UI improvements using Bootstrap, Tailwind, and Figma wireframes to enhance usability. I take pride in my ability to bridge the gap between back-end logic and polished front-end design. My previous background in customer-facing roles taught me how to listen carefully to user needs, communicate clearly, and collaborate smoothly on a team. I'm especially passionate about building intuitive, well-organized, user-friendly applications that feel good to use — and that scale with the needs of real people. I love the balance of structure and creativity that Rails offers, and I'm excited to continue building meaningful tools that make people's lives easier. Whether it’s integrating APIs, refining complex forms, or making sure a UI flows naturally, I enjoy solving problems and learning fast. If you're looking for a junior developer who’s reliable, coachable, eager to contribute, and can deliver polished features from database to browser — I’d love to connect!

I am a career-changer that has always found ways to use my coding skills to enhance my value. I am seeking to transition into software development full time. As a career "pivot," I have a strong and reliable work history. I have been the director of a non-profit subsidiary, managed the development of a Salesforce platform for a program providing college education to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students (700+ students in six locations), launched a temporary supportive housing program for formerly incarcerated college students working towards completion of their degrees, and previously worked as a paralegal at law firms defending doctors and hospitals in healthcare litigation. All of this built upon a degree in business with a concentration in mathematics. As a developer, I attended a coding boot camp focused on Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript. I have a portfolio of student projects to show for it, but most of my recent coding has focused around open source contributions to projects like Dry-rb and Hanami, including a major refactor of the Hanami Router library. I am insatiably curious and love to learn. I am an excellent communicator, with experience writing documentation, delivering talks, and teaching seminars. I believe that learning, teaching, and collaboration are the three founts of productivity and innovation. I would love to speak with you about how I can contribute to your project and team!
