Hire Ruby on Rails developers

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.

I didn’t start out planning to be a developer—but solving problems though applied technology pulled me in. What began with scripting solutions for tedious workflows turned into building full-scale platforms used by thousands. Today, I’m a full-stack developer and technical founder with a deep understanding of both code and the business logic behind it. I have worked across both public and private sectors, and in industries ranging from Logistics and Aviation, to Retail and Education. My early career experience as a solutions architect reinforced my customer and user concentric approach. What sets me apart isn’t just the code I write—it's my ability to understand what users actually need and deliver scalable, elegant solutions that exceed expectations.

I’m a junior web developer with a strong focus on front-end technologies and currently learning Ruby on Rails to deepen my understanding of back-end development. Although I’m still at an early stage with Rails, I’m actively exploring its fundamentals, including MVC architecture, routing, and working with databases. On the front-end side, I have solid experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, building responsive and accessible user interfaces. I had the opportunity to work briefly with Angular, where I contributed to small features in a team project. I’ve also studied Vue.js, gaining a good understanding of its component-based approach and reactivity system, though I haven’t yet applied it in real-world projects. Sou um desenvolvedor web júnior com foco principal em tecnologias de front-end e atualmente estou a aprender Ruby on Rails para aprofundar os meus conhecimentos em desenvolvimento back-end. Embora ainda esteja numa fase inicial com Rails, estou a explorar os fundamentos do framework, como a arquitetura MVC, rotas e integração com bases de dados. No front-end, tenho boa experiência com HTML, CSS e JavaScript, desenvolvendo interfaces responsivas e acessíveis. Tive a oportunidade de trabalhar um pouco com Angular, contribuindo para pequenas funcionalidades num projeto em equipa. Estudei também Vue.js, e compreendo bem o seu modelo baseado em componentes e sistema de reatividade, embora ainda não tenha utilizado em projetos reais.

I’m a veteran Ruby on Rails developer with 10+ years building Rails apps—ranging from greenfield to legacy rescue. I help small teams move faster, clean up codebases, and ship features with confidence. Fluent in Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus), RESTful APIs, PostgreSQL, and scalable architecture. Also experienced in mentoring devs, improving performance, and navigating compliance (HIPAA, PCI, ISO27001). Currently open for ~10 hrs/week of contract work—hands-on coding, tech guidance, or both.

I'm a software engineer graduate who started with curiosity and a desire to create things that make life easier for others. Over the years, that evolved into a deep expertise in building robust, scalable web applications with Ruby on Rails. What sets me apart is not just my technical skill set, but the way I approach problems, with empathy for the end user and a relentless focus on clarity, performance, and maintainability. I enjoy working closely with designers, product owners, and even customers to ensure we’re solving the right problems, not just writing code. I’m especially passionate about developer experience, writing maintainable code, automating workflows, and sharing patterns that make entire teams more productive. If you need someone who can step in, understand a complex codebase, identify what’s slowing your product down, and ship clean, tested solutions fast, I’m that developer.

I’m a senior full-stack developer with over 8 years of experience, primarily focused on Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Sidekiq, and React. I’ve spent the last 5+ years working remotely with US and Canadian companies, building reliable, scalable systems and shipping features that matter. I've worked with teams at GitHub, Sana Benefits, and Lillo — contributing to everything from critical billing systems to product onboarding flows and internal tools. My journey started with curiosity — I loved solving problems and automating anything repetitive. That turned into a career built around clean code, collaboration, and fast iteration. I’m passionate about building real-world products that users love and helping teams move faster without sacrificing quality. What makes me stand out is my ability to go deep into backend architecture while also being comfortable jumping into the frontend or DevOps when needed. I know how to work independently, communicate clearly in async teams, and push work forward without blockers. I care about writing maintainable code, mentoring other engineers, and staying up to date with the tools that make software better — and I’m always looking for product-driven teams where I can bring real value from day one.

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 started learning Ruby on Rails because I wanted to bring my ideas to life by creating simple and effective web applications. What I love most is building projects that make sense and can truly be useful to people. I first created my personal website with Jekyll to share what I do and what inspires me. Then, I developed Quotety, a project that is close to my heart, and now I’m working on creating a game, a new challenge that pushes me to learn even more. At the same time, I’m also the founder of the podcast Art au Féminin, where I give a voice to women passionate about art. This project is important to me because it combines my interest in creativity and my desire to highlight female voices. Every day, I’m motivated by the desire to learn, grow, and contribute to projects that reflect who I am. I’m excited to join a team where I can continue to develop while making a meaningful impact.

I love to learn fundamentals and solve problems.
