Hire principal / staff Ruby on Rails developers in United States

I'm a software engineer with 14+ years experience in: - Application design (requirements and spec definition and agreement, domain-driven design, object-oriented design, data structure management, ETL processes, etc.) - Application engineering (Rails, NodeJS, React/Vue, frontend) - Server administration (Linux, Nginx, Apache, etc.) - Containerization (Kubernetes, EKS, Docker) - Cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Terraform) - Cloud and infrastructure security (CPI-810, etc.) - Compliance (CCPA, GDPA, CPNI, etc.) At my last role, I was lead engineer on a team of five that developed and maintained an LMS system used internally at Verizon by hundreds of thousands of users. I'm funny, smart, a good listener and a good teacher. I like working in a team and getting things done. I like finding processes and ways to work that make things more efficient, fun, and engaging. I just left a job at Verizon voluntarily and am open to to hourly or project-based work.

I have developed, deployed and supported numerous Ruby and Ruby on Rails applications for a variety of businesses including: * A Shopify-like SaaS platform * Nationwide rental real estate platforms * Social media advertising management solutions * Supply chain finance fintech * Fantasy football real time gaming I have extensive experience in both greenfield and continuing development and can help you build and launch a complex application from scratch or support, extend and modernize an existing mission critical application. Most recently I've worked as a contract full-stack developer on a rails 7 app while simultaneously developing a python and AI data collection and processing platform. Get in touch so we can discuss how I can help you to successfully launch your product or expand the capabilities of your existing team.

As a Senior Software Engineer at ClickFunnels, I have over four years of experience in leading the development of SaaS projects. I am passionate about creating robust and high-quality software solutions that meet the needs of our customers. I have a strong background in Ruby on Rails, which I used to develop web applications for General Dynamics Information Technology before joining ClickFunnels. I also have skills in Tailwind CSS, React.js, Next.js and Stimulus, which I use to enhance the user experience and functionality of our products. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration and deployment of new features. I am always eager to learn new technologies and best practices to improve my skills and contribute to the success of our team.

I've been working on and studying the overlap between business and software for the last decade. My friends and family will tell you I'm obsessed with both. Over the past eight years, I've launched my own products and worked with several businesses to launch theirs. I study my clients' businesses deeply and only offer economically sustainable solutions. I find Rails a joy to work with. It's the perfect toolkit to test ideas and put them in front of customers in weeks rather than months.

👋🏻 When I first started working with Ruby in 2010, it felt so refreshing. Ruby felt like a language made specifically for me. I didn't even need docs. I could try a method and probably be right. Needless to say, I fell in love with Ruby. I've worked with Ruby and Rails for 13 years now and I can't imagine working in a different language. I have a deep appreciation for Ruby and Rails. I have extensive experience working with ActiveRecord and ActiveModel, as well as experience doing front end work with React. I enjoy the building websites and trying to make the best code possible while also making the experience of using those applications feel great. I'm also a strong advocate of Test Driven Development and have worked with RSpec and MiniTest in the past. Both are great tools and I like how TDD can quickly get me into a flow state. Recently, I've been learning to use Hotwire and it feels like such a breath of fresh air for frontend development. It's nice to be able to focus on solving the customer problem instead of fighting the toolchain. I'm open to roles where I can continue to grow my skills while I help teams build sustainable software in a pragmatic way. I believe the process of building software should be as enjoyable as the process of using software.

Currently leading technical instruction at the Discovery Partners Institute (University of Illinois) Full Stack Apprenticeship program and development on https://receipt-ai.com, a tool to manage receipts with AI and SMS. Looking to work with great people solving business problems. Would love to learn more about what you're working on and see if I can help.

10 years of experience building and launching successful B2B SaaS products with Ruby on Rails. I'm a passionate engineering and product leader. I fell in love with the Hotwire stack early and run a popular blog filled with tutorials on how to use Stimulus, Turbo, and friends to build modern Ruby on Rails applications. My expertise is in helping early-stage companies figure out what to build, how to structure their teams for growth, and I can ship plenty of Rails code for you in the process. I have experience working on production applications from Rails 3 to Rails 8 and deep knowledge of Bullet Train and Jumpstart Pro applications. I strongly advocate for a full-stack Rails experience whenever possible.

👋 Hello! I create art with various mediums; music, poetry, graphic design, and technology. Ruby on Rails is my go-to web development framework! 💪🏽 I like my Rails mono, Javascript and HTML vanilla, and my stylesheets SCSS-y. As a self-taught, Full-Stack Developer with a deep understanding of the entire web development process, I love seeing ideas go from concept to products and services. We might be a bad fit if you're looking for a computer scientist. Sorry, mate.

My values are collaboration, empathy, and work ethic. I've been working in Ruby on Rails for 10 years, and have seen a variety of different industries and different products. I focus on delivering quality products on-time and under budget. Reach out to discuss your needs!

Throughout my 15+ years of working as a software developer I sought out different work environments in order to get a feel for the entire software development industry. I started by working at a large consultancy. After learning the basics of working as a team and with clients I decided to take a shot a running my own consultancy. This is when I started Bitpop. During these years I learned about the many positives and negatives of running your own business but more importantly I learned how to really listen to customer needs. My next adventure took me to working at a pure product company (FiveStreet) where I was the first engineer hire and ended up being acquired by Realtor.com. This gave me a different POV on how to develop a product. Finally, I co-founded Cetus Labs and developed Octopi. I was the CTO for a mission critical application that helps the shipping industry track its cargo. We were acquired by Navis where I currently work at as a Director of Engineering. My current responsibilities include managing a team of 10+ remote developers and being one of the senior architects for the platform. I like to collaborate with other developers and discuss ideas before writing code. I believe that balance is the key to a successful product. I see software as a tool to solve problems and increase the bottom line. I believe that there is no perfect code base but we should strive to make it the best possible. I believe that keeping our team happy is as important as keeping customers happy. Other things I enjoy include running around and screaming with my daughter, creating music, astronomy, reading books, imagining stories and movies (if my daughter lets me watch something other than Monsters Inc.).
