Hire Ruby on Rails developers

I’m a senior full-stack Ruby on Rails developer with 8+ years shipping production-grade software — from bootstrapped MVPs to fully-fledged SaaS platforms. I thrive in startup environments where shipping fast, clean code is key, and where product thinking is just as important as engineering chops. Rails is my weapon of choice — API-first apps, Hotwire interactivity, background jobs, payments, and complex business logic? All handled. I build with intention, scalability, and UX in mind. Beyond code, I’ve co-founded multiple products, run lean experiments, managed integrations with payment gateways (M-Pesa, Stripe, Paystack, Circle), and built systems used by thousands in Kenya and beyond. I speak startup.

I am passionate in technology, troubleshooting, and problem-solving. I have a wide exposure in many computer science fields including Networking, Web Development, Statistics and Machine Learning. My career objective is to become a solution architect focused on open technologies. I strive to develop optimized solutions for customers' needs and progressively improve it as the rapid technology growth. Other interests are User Experience (UX), Artificial Inteligence (AI), and Security. I have software development experiences in the following programming languages: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (Node, Express, React), Python (script), PHP (Slim, Magento 2, WordPress), Ruby (Rails), MongoDB, MySQL. Beside technologies, I am interested in healthy lifestyle.

I’m a full-stack web developer with experience in JavaScript and Ruby. I have 15 years of experience working with projects in different industries, from digital campaigns to HR, e-commerce and SaaS products. In my current role I led the development of many modules of the Applications & Leasing system, with a strong dedication in delivering robust solutions that could be extended to support other use cases. Some of these modules include an application template builder, document template builder, lease renewal score and document signing.

Skilled in self-management for independent projects and a collaborative team player. I have worked in different domains like healthcare, legal, security, construction, social media and others. I'm passionate about coding, especially in Ruby with the magic of Rails making things smooth sailing. I've built plenty of projects, and now I'm excited about combining Ruby on Rails with AI. I'm skilled with Git, RSpec, and handling databases. I also know my way around frontend tech like ReactJS and AngularJS, as well as integrating APIs. I've led small developer teams back home, using tools like GitHub, GitLab, Notion and Linear. I'm fluent in Gujarati, English, and Hindi, making communication a breeze. As a remote developer, I'm here to turn your ideas into reality. Whether it's working solo or coordinating a team, count me in to get the job done. I can provide a wide range of services that are designed to attract attention and cater to the most searched for needs. Here are some examples of the services I offer. -> Web application development -> Font-end UI/UX development -> Back-end REST APIs development -> Application deployments on cloud -> Version upgrades -> Technical lead for teams -> Application maintenance or support -> Technical consultation -> Project management -> Problem solving -> Small project to large (feature, enhancement, bug, issues)

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.
