Ruby on Rails Developer

Recently updated

Ruby on Rails. 5+ Years. Built and scaled web solutions with Ruby on Rails for a startup (team of 3). Tackled senior-level tasks: optimized legacy code, designed APIs under tight deadlines. Expanded into cloud infrastructure: deployed servers on AWS, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean, and Heroku. Fluent in English & Portuguese, conversational Spanish. As a Ruby on Rails developer with five years of experience, I thrive on turning ideas into seamless, user-focused web solutions. My journey kicked off with a curiosity about what powers the digital world—a spark that’s since grown into a deep passion for crafting reliable, impactful software. At a startup, I worked with a tight-knit team of three, diving into senior-level challenges head-on. From optimizing tangled legacy codebases to designing scalable APIs under tight deadlines, those high-stakes tasks sharpened my ability to adapt, innovate, and deliver, no matter the complexity. I’m more than a coder—I’m a problem solver who brings enthusiasm and precision to the table. A recent milestone I’m proud of? Expanding into cloud infrastructure. I’ve been spinning up servers on AWS, Google Cloud, Digital Ocean, and Heroku, pushing my skills beyond app development into architecting robust, high-performance environments. This rare mix of full-stack expertise and DevOps know-how lets me offer end-to-end solutions that stand out in today’s fast-paced tech landscape. What makes me unique? I pair a rock-solid Ruby on Rails foundation with an insatiable drive to learn and a talent for connecting the dots. Fluent in English and Portuguese, with conversational Spanish, I’m built to collaborate across diverse teams and cultures. I’m eager to join innovative companies where I can blend my skills with cutting-edge projects, grow alongside brilliant peers, and tackle challenges others might miss. Whether it’s unraveling backend puzzles or deploying cloud-native systems, I’m the developer who gets it done—and then pushes it further.

Senior/Lead Eng to Tech Co-Founder: Deep rails experience that comes with empathy, humor, and a bit of chaos

Recently updated

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. 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 to 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.

Sr Ruby on Rails dev with blockchain and databases background

I am a versatile Ruby on Rails developer with a passion for problem-solving and a strong background in computer science. With over 5 years of experience at Portugal Telecom, I honed my skills in database performance tuning and data extraction using Ruby and JRuby. I also gained expertise in real-time data processing with the Esper framework, effectively triggering alarms based on specific conditions. In 2013, I relocated to London and joined Tesco PLC's Supply Chain department, where I contributed to their projects. Later, at We Are Friday, I had the opportunity to work on high-profile projects for HSBC. Most recently, I worked as a developer for Microsoft, focusing on the Skype in the Classroom website. During this period, I had the privilege of taking the lead on various tasks, demonstrating my ability to mentor and guide junior developers. One of my most notable achievements was being part of a task-force responsible for building the Covid-19 Contact Tracing app in the UK. As a team lead, I ensured smooth collaboration and played a pivotal role in delivering this crucial solution. As a consultant since 2013, I have worked with a diverse range of clients, both in short-term and long-term assignments. I thrive in BDD and Agile/Scrum environments, adapting quickly to project requirements and delivering high-quality results. Outside of work, I have a keen interest in traveling, sports, photography, and event organization. I have also had the privilege of serving as a coach for Rails Girls London, where I helped aspiring developers enhance their skills. I am always excited to take on new challenges and leverage my expertise to drive innovation and deliver exceptional results.
