Hire mid-level Ruby on Rails developers in United States

In 2013, I stumbled into the world of software and it's been a thrilling journey ever since. While residing out of state and working as a secretary, a company spotted my resume on a job board and invited me to interview for a junior development role. I was initially skeptical, (I joked that all I could do was update a MySpace page), but they recognized my proficiency in foreign languages and believed they could teach me to code. Although I absolutely bombed the technical interview, my future boss saw potential and told me he saw a working brain at play. They specialized in a healthcare abstraction software written in Smalltalk and it unlocked a part of my brain that I didn’t know existed — something creative and analytical and puzzle-y and I was hooked from word one. I worked with them for about a year before circumstances led me back to North Carolina to be with family. I knew I would never have such luck again, I enrolled in night school and pursued a software apprenticeship. In 2019, I made the decisive shift to a programming career, a choice that has become the pride of my life. Professionally, I am a passionate software engineer specializing in Ruby/Rails, driven by the challenge of solving complex problems with innovative solutions. I am dedicated to maintaining high code quality and ensuring long-term maintainability while approaching new features with a focus on fundamental design principles. Demonstrating confident ownership of my work, I strive to deliver projects with speed and accuracy. I thrive in both collaborative team environments and self-directed settings, embodying a lifelong student mindset, always eager to swiftly learn and master new technologies.

As a dedicated Ruby on Rails developer with 4 years under my belt, I have a genuine passion for bringing ideas to life on the web. My journey in the tech world may be budding, but it's rich with hands-on experiences that have shaped my ability to craft user-friendly solutions. I pride myself on being more than just a coder; I'm a problem solver. Whether I'm creating responsive web designs or diving deep into backend challenges, I approach tasks with enthusiasm and a keen eye for detail. Fluent in both English and Portuguese, with conversational skills in Spanish, I'm equipped to collaborate in diverse settings. Seeking opportunities to merge my foundational knowledge with innovative teams where I can continue my growth and contribute meaningfully. A recent milestone for me has been expanding into cloud computing. I've been building servers on AWS, Google Cloud, and Digital Ocean, broadening my skill set beyond application development to include robust, scalable infrastructure management. These cloud computing skills amplify my ability to offer end-to-end solutions.

Dedicated senior Full Stack developer with 8+ years adept in  Ruby on Rails & SPA(React, Vue, Angular)  & Flutter. Proficient in fostering collaborative teamwork and harnessing robust communication skills to achieve consistently successful outcomes.

Curious, thoughtful, and resourceful software developer with a passion for backend engineering and a specialization in Ruby on Rails. I have thrived on exploration, continuous learning, and embracing new experiences, both in the tech industry and beyond. My origin story began with a diverse range of experiences, from working in conservation at the Grand Canyon to teaching in Japan and higher education in Colorado. However, it was a conversation over coffee that introduced me to the world of coding and sparked my interest in solving problems with Ruby. For the past 1.75 years at Measurabl, I have taken my enthusiasm for exploration, growth, and effective communication into developing and maintaining a high-volume REST API. This RoR application consumes multiple external and internal data sources to provide environmental (ESG) data for the real estate sector. I am a proactive and supportive teammate. I love brainstorming, pair/mob programming, and am always willing to present new features on behalf of the team. I can't wait to leverage my skills and experiences to contribute to a dynamic and collaborative team. Let's connect!

Full-stack developer with over 3 years of Ruby on Rails experience. I've worked on all aspects of development, from scoping project requirements to deployment. I enjoy taking an idea and turning it into functional code. In addition to Ruby on Rails, other technologies I'm familiar with include Javascript, CSS, React, and more. Interested in working more with Hotwire.

I began my journey as a software developer by quitting my job as a Mechanical Engineering Project Manager in the commercial HVAC construction world to teach myself how to code. I decided to move to South America where I spent my weekdays locked in my room teaching myself to build RESTful apps with Ruby on Rails backends and React frontends. I then moved back to the States, settling in Austin, Texas, where I got my first professional Software Engineering gig as a full-stack software engineer for Moove-it, an engineering consultancy specializing in fast and beautiful applications to help companies get a leg up in their respective industries. There I worked on a handful of different projects interfacing directly with the customers, working on agile teams to build frontend applications with React, Angular, Typescript, and other technologies. I also worked with Node.js to build some small internal projects. After my time with Moove-it, an opportunity arose to work with a fantastic engineering company called Hatched Labs where I worked primarily on the backend grocery API built in Ruby on Rails. I spent about 4 years helping to launch, maintain, and build new revenue-increasing features for the Giant Eagle grocery store chain's online shopping and delivery application. Giant Eagle boasts upwards of 211 stores across 5 states in the northwest United States. We built their exclusive shopping platform from 0 to over $500 Million in annual revenue through our application. We also went from 0 to over 400K monthly active users. Throughout this journey, the values I have learned to prioritize in my work and in the environments I seek out are: Learning and teaching mindset Doing things right IS doing them faster (in the long run) Diversity drives quality Always start from the customer's perspective and work back from there I think that engineers and companies that prioritize these things make better products because we are always improving ourselves, raising the ceiling of what is possible, minimizing our mistakes, increasing efficiency, and ultimately, meeting needs with innovative solutions. When these things are happening, I get really excited because it creates a sense of drive and purpose that is much more fulfilling (and fun!) than just completing a task for the sake of the task. This is how my path has shaped me as an engineer so far and I am incredibly excited to start the next chapter with a motivated team that likes to build cool things together and hopefully make the world a little bit better, one line of code at a time.

👋 Hey there, I'm Bryan. With over 20 years of full-stack experience, I get things done quickly and efficiently. I get the biggest rush out of delivering something you're proud to own. I've been working in Rails since version 4 (2013), so no codebase is too old or complex for me to jump right into. I can build what you need from scratch, or adapt to your existing codebase. I'm not going to try to convince you that you need a full re-write if we can work with what you have. During my time at Amazon, I designed and worked with complex systems that had to scale into the millions on day one. At my current job as a Staff Engineer, I lead and work alongside my peers to build user-friendly systems that our customers rely on every day. I obsess over you and your customers' happiness. I bring order from chaos, and can tackle any project you throw my way. I am here because I love building. I love working on new projects and filling my schedule with interesting problems that help businesses grow is what drives me. Reach out and let's chat!
