Hire principal / staff Ruby on Rails developers in United States

I started studying computer science while teaching English in Shenzhen, China in 2012. Since then, I've delivered business solutions in iOS, React, .NET and Ruby on Rails. Recently I've been 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.

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) and process ~billion jobs a day.

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!

Seasoned code wrangler with over a decade in Ruby on Rails and a past life as a social worker and policy researcher. I've got a knack for translating geek speak for humans and wrangling stakeholder needs into delighted users and maintainable code. Somehow, most days, I still like my IDE. Looking to land in a place where code meets impact. Full stack developer that has spent over a decade in the Ruby/Rails ecosystem. I lean ops -> backend, but I can get in there and wrangle JS components and CSS if need be. I often wear at least a little bit of a product manager hat, have been a team lead on large projects, and I even try to remember to write documentation and technical briefs. I'm longwinded in slack, shy in person, didactic and friendly in code reviews, and occasionally down a rabbithole. Loves: Wrangling weird bugs and annoying APIs, refactoring, clear code (for the humans) and good tests (for the robots), figuring out the best places to deliver maximum impact and shipping quickly, teaching myself new things, compassionate communication and collaboration with multiple stockholders, making weird things happen in the CI pipeline Special superpowers: T-shaped generalist that still geeks out on learning new things, sniffing out something that isn't a problem yet but definitely will be (and I don't mean premature optimization), care a lot about readable code. Worked as a social worker for a decade, there's more soft skills than people might think in getting software out the door. Not so loves: JS in general, jerks, arrogance, watching junior developers not get the support they need and thinking it is their fault, refreshing staging for an hour wondering why my debugger isn't getting hit. -- Have worked in startups at all stages of their life cycle as both an introverted grumpy solo developer and team leader, helped make product decisions, mentored other developers, deleted prod a few times, etc. I chafe a bit at schedules, but occasionally I'll figure out a big that would have been a big problem in the future at 3am and just fix it. Love fixing those things. I can meeting during normal human hours though. -- Open to short and long term contracts and FTE for the right fit. Prefer chill flat organizations where everyone likes and respects each other and just gets stuff done. I've shipped features faster at those organizations than any that were focused on relentless hustle. -- Tell me why you believe in your tech and I'll tell you about one of my weird side projects like a Led Zeppelin button or a confessional that floats in the air. -- Have PhD level statistics classes buried in my brain somewhere, know my way around python and some data analysis, have built ETL pipelines - if it has to be done, I'll try to figure out a way to get it done. And the longer you hang around this world, you realize the most important programming language is being able to talk to people in kind and useful ways. -- Senior enough to know that sometimes it's the code you don't write that solves the problem ;) Junior enough to still get excited every time I make LEDs blink with magic words.

Highly experienced Ruby on Rails Developer with 10+ years of experience in full-stack web development, specializing in e-commerce solutions and Shopify app development. Proven track record of delivering high-quality, scalable, and efficient solutions.

I have helped government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and startups succeed via technology and software development. I enjoy understanding root problems and crafting simple effective solutions. I believe not every solution involves writing more code.

I have been developing for the web since 2007 and with Ruby on Rails since 2012. I am skilled in backend development as well as server-side rendered HTML. I have worked on a variety of projects from small scale to large legacy for a variety of different clients and employers. I have worked for startups, corporations and non-profits. I have experience working as part of team using agile methodologies, as well as working as a solo developer directly with clients. I am passionate about continuing my own education as a developer as well as helping others learn. I was the organizer of the Ruby meetup in Ann Arbor for over five years. I have also spoken at numerous conferences and user groups.

Built and designed several Rails applications since 2008.

Built an integrated ecommerce support for processing semester registration. https://bravewriter.com Anddit - A non-profit portal for connecting people in need underwritten by a biopharmaceutical company. Original site design and architecture. https://anddit.com/ Spoonflower - The original print-on-demand for fabric enterprise. Trained (refactoring, TDD) and consulted for the engineering team, as well as migrated the original Rails infrastructure through several versions. https://www.spoonflower.com/ RedHat - contributed as a member of the Katello plugin (https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/), a Rails engine for Foreman server management application as a Senior Software Developer at RedHat. This included both active development as an individual contributor, but also reviewing and managing contributions from the open source community. I recently built a JIRA plugin for schedule forecasting Kanban teams, written of course in Rails! This plugin does simple date estimations to help teams realize the velocity of their Kanban board. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1232566/issue-forecast?hosting=cloud&tab=overview I've had experience as both an individual contributor as as a team manager/lead.
