Hire mid-level freelance Ruby on Rails developers in United States

How can we leverage technology, data, and automation to bring people together, improve efficiency, and solve difficult problems? As an urban planner, I faced this question frequently - and as a software developer, I am now empowered to answer it. I currently work as a Full Stack Engineer at a B2B SaaS proptech startup, where I build and maintain features with Ruby on Rails and Javascript / React. I have a strong focus on writing clear, maintainable code, understanding the "whys" of tech and business decisions, and collaborating with colleagues - in and outside of the engineering team - to develop, refine, and implement product improvements. Outside of work, I organize the bi-monthly Interview Prep sessions for WNB.rb (online community for women and non-binary Rubyists), volunteer with my neighborhood civic organization, and conduct rigorous research on the best bagels available in Philly.

TLDR- I know Rails, let’s build together. I understand that the most important part of any project is getting it in front of users. I am the ultimate buy one get one free; a true full stack developer with years of experience working with Rails and React. Let’s leverage my skill set to get your idea from in your head to on the web. Skills Great knowledge of Ruby. Experienced Next/React user. Sidekiq expert. Domain Modeling. CSS (SCSS, StyleComponents, Tailwind, Bootstrap, Whatever is clever). API’s and Integrations are my jam. I am very familiar with the JavaScript ecosystem including modern React and the current rise of hypermedia on, over, or around the wire. From LiveView in Phoenix, to Hotwire and HTMX, I’ve hosted projects in each. Legacy Code I have experience working with large media organizations that managed many forms of media from digital to printed magazine. Magazine systems are archaic, and very brittle. I refactored America’s Test Kitchen’s subscription service, allowing for greater resilience and capture. I am currently working for an enterprise grade e-commerce platform. We leverage Rails (Sidekiq) to serve hundreds of millions of requests a month.

Many years ago, I wrote a small application that consolidated bank statements for a real estate developer using a Btrieve database so they could know how much cash they had to buy office buildings. This skill soon merged into solving database corruption problems for distributed accounting applications. Those experiences led to a 15-year career deploying, integrating, and managing accounting and construction management software for the property management industry. My roots go back to building and managing inventory and maintenance systems and teaching at the Water Survival Instructor School in the United States Marine Corps. These experiences taught me that the capacity to manage systems is inherently a people process. No matter how great a system is, it is about training and empowering people to run and support the systems being deployed. Ruby and Ruby on Rails are my preferred tools for building custom integrations for manufacturing systems. Recently, I did this for the company building the complex composite panels for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in LA. Two issues had to be solved. The most important was a gating system for feeding semi-truck-sized molds into the robotic honing system (Primary Capacity Constraint) from one building to another. The second was consolidating data from the Quality Assurance Database, the Engineer Database (In Asana) and AutoDesk's ProdSmart MIS system.
