Hire senior freelance Ruby on Rails developers

I started my career with Singlebrook Technologies where I was initially tasked with testing legacy Ruby on Rails applications. This work quickly grew to encompass bug fixes, software updates, and new feature rollouts across all company projects written in Ruby on Rails and Angular with the exception of the company's ColdFusion applications. I then pivoted to work on my own projects and to do contract work in order to fully grasp the breadth of the technical decisions that need to be made when initially designing, planning, and building a new web application. This was something that I had only done once with my previous employer. During this time I crystallized the concept of technical debt and expanded my depth and range as a Full Stack Web Developer. Currently I work part time doing contract work for Cornell’s Prison Education Program through Ascendium where I’ve built a web application that facilitates learning for incarcerated persons. I am able to take on any project and anything that I don’t already know I will learn.

In 2014, I attended App Academy, a top web development bootcamp. I graduated near the top of my class and was invited to becoming a teaching assistant at App Academy, where I taught Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, SQL, and more to their next three cohorts of students. I then worked at Hired, Inc. (a reverse job board for technology professionals), first as a software engineer in the San Francisco headquarters (from 2016-2018) and then as a support engineer working remotely (from 2018-2020). I'm now looking to re-enter the world of professional web development. I really enjoy problem solving, and there is no end of problems to solve in web development. I enjoy working with quality tooling and frameworks that make it possible to solve those challenges as efficiently, enjoyably, and robustly as possible. That's why I love working with Ruby on Rails, and the Ruby ecosystem in general. On the frontend, I enjoy working in Vue, though I'm also familiar with React. I enjoy making things that effectively meet users' needs and desires and which align with my values. I like to build web applications with a convenient and intuitive user experience. I like to maintain high test coverage, so that we can iterate quickly and confidently, without worrying too much about breaking things for our users. And when the product does have a bug, I love the challenge of deeply understanding the underlying source of the bug, figuring out how to fix it, and strategizing about which process or architectural changes could help to avoid similar bugs in the future.

Started off back in 2012 as a junior VOIP admin in a small startup. When I saw the guys coding around decided to give it a shot with Rails for Zombies and boom, instead of doing admin stuff I was coding. I've been doing billing for the past 9 years so eventually became the engineering manager billing.

Hello! I'm a chatty full-stack developer from the midwest. I have a BS in CS and good mixture of project and programming experience from this last 15 years. I've lived in a variety of places in the midwest and east coast, working at a number of creative agencies start ups along the way. This last few years I've work for myself, consulting with startups on some of their most challenging needs. I'm especially talented in my ability to change my focus 'aperture'. I can move between seeing macro level business and strategy requirements and zoom into micro level code adjustments. I also excel at communicating those requirements up and down the chain of command. Rails may be a giant pile of CRUD but it's an excellent glue to keep this series of tubes held together. I consider myself an enthusiast and a 'full-stack developer' meaning not only do I have a bit of experience at many layers in the HTTP/TCP/IP stack but I also understand the fundamentals so I can learn new things quickly. Cheers!

I’m a grizzled veteran of the internet.

Lead Rails developer with generalist skillset. I've been developing Rails applications since the weekend of the first public release of Rails and am the author of 2 Ruby on Rails books. I prefer to work in small teams where I can be involved in all aspects of the application development process and have rapidly created entire applications for both small venture-backed companies and multinationals alike. Have worked as CTO at two startups, building development teams and designing the architecture for the platforms. Rails is my preferred framework, but I have also developed applications in Elixir Phoenix and React Native.

I design and implement future proof, scalable architectures and data models that can grow with your business. Good code starts before the implementation, and I will support you in making sure product vision, requirements and technical product definition match. This will lead to a clearer design and extensible architecture. To make concepts transparent and actionable to all stakeholders, I document architectural decisions in human readable form. Additionally, I have experience in leading small and medium sized dev teams in an agile environment. Whether rapid prototype or final implementation, I write clean and maintainable code, preferably in Ruby and Python, and have extensive experience in modeling the data side in SQL and NoSQL databases, caches and messaging systems. I speak both code and human language. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me :)
