Full Stack Rails & React Developer with 15+ years experience

Who am I? I am Tom Dallimore, a developer from the UK. I currently work as a freelance Rails & React Developer, my 2 favourite frameworks that I thoroughly enjoy using (so far!). Additionally, in my spare time, I am managing a Gen AI platform I launched late last year called Fetch Hive(fetchhive.com) and a typeform alternative form builder called JotJab(jotjab.com). But before we go any further, let’s get to my story and why I think we are a great fit for each other. My story Let’s get started. I am a 35 year old developer who has been developing all kinds of applications and software for the past 17 years. When I started software development (when I was about 16 years old) I learned the basics of HTML, CSS and a little bit of Javascript. After that I moved onto PHP and C# for a small time but then stumbled upon Rails. I became intrigued, since when did writing code become so fun and fast? At the time I was working at Dyson as a C# developer, but in the evenings and mornings I was building my own little applications - a lot of fun. I eventually settled on creating an ecommerce app (yeah, I didn’t know at the time how much work that would be), which eventually grew into Trado - an open source e-commerce application. Fast forward a year or so and I was offered a job to work at an agency in Beijing. It was a contract based job which was primarily on upgrading, managing and debugging Rails applications, certainly an interesting experience. From there I decided I wanted to dive back into the world of freelance. I helped several companies launch apps using a mixture of React and Rails, including an online store for PPE supplies, a charity donation web + mobile app and an app for the Shopify Partners ecosystem. Why me? I love to experiment and build tools which help people’s everyday lives be more productive and fun! I would say the most rewarding part of being a developer is seeing apps I helped create become a rewarding tool for the user. I’m not just a developer Over the years I’ve worked on projects with teams and on my own. The latter meant I needed to take up other responsibilities to ensure the delivery of a product. These included tasks such as, server management, UX/Product design, graphic design (my father ran a graphic design agency) and from time to time marketing/branding. Guess you could call it a swiss army knife of skills! Side projects As I previously mentioned, since a young age I’ve always enjoyed tinkering with stuff in my free time. The most recent project is Fetch Hive. I've been working with a few companies in the past couple of years which want to utilize AI in the business, but quickly became tired of the constant back and forth between developers and project managers. Building prompts, agents and integrating data sources like Google, Website Scraping and Exa just became slow and cumbersome as it was all in the code. So I built a complete Gen AI platform, an all in-one workspace for engineers, product managers, and non-tech teams to explore LLM tools. It runs using Rails, Rust, React, TailwindCSS, Shadcn and Vite, all hosted on Hetzner and Cloudflare using the amazing Dokku engine (seriously, the best open source PaaS out there!). Another project I also built last year is JotJab. At the time I was using Typeform to create forms for communicating with audiences on the web, but I couldn’t stomach their high pricing. So I built an alternative product which is accessible to businesses of all sizes without breaking the bank. Staying in touch • I keep updated with the OSS community on Github • I follow a lot on Twitter and actively share daily • I follow a few YouTubers. • And I dabble in Reddit, from time to time. Soft skills I like to talk, throw ideas around, and have long conversations about certain topics. I love to experiment with “outside the box” ideas. I do have opinions, I like to discuss and have a conversation about my opinions, but I also love to change and adapt my opinions based on new information. After hours • I’m always keen to learn new technologies, currently experimenting with Go and Flutter • I have a passion for photography and videographer, mostly when taking trips into the countryside • I do enjoy watching a good series now and again, like Shogun There is a lot more I would like to talk about, but I hope I’ve already convinced you enough to start a conversation. I look forward to hearing from you.

I started my journey in 2014 after graduating fresh out from college and getting into my first Job. My first project was really exciting and I was fortunate enough that I got a chance to work on it, that was to build a Software application that controls the drone when it is in the air and the user can draw an Area of interest where the drone would fly and as initially, I was the only one on the project and I myself did all the research work including the Mavlink protocol which was going to be used for communication between software and hardware, so an interesting problem I solved was implementing the custom messages that need to be sent to the bird and to cache a map on the file system So I created an algorithm to calculate the bounding box for an Area of Interest and download the map tiles in the background so that if a user is flying the drone where the internet is unavailable then also the map is visible on the desktop application. Then for one of the projects, I built a scoring and leaderboard engine for the same using a self-balanced binary search tree(SBBST). Detailed design is mentioned here (https://murtazabagwala.xyz/posts/algorithms). Recently built recommendation algorithm for one of the product. I am passionate about learning new tech and implementing the same also love exploring engineering blogs of tech companies to understand how exactly they solved the particular problem. I also believe tech can make a world better place to leave, and As engineers, we pride ourselves on the ability to problem-solve. I enjoy working through problem after problem, getting a precise solution. But I feel the impact is not related to the solution we build but it is equally associated with the problem itself, So, I feel if we could simplify the problem and understand the problem itself first than start building a solution in the first place then I think we can make a better impact. But, sometimes we get so focused on solving the problem in front of us that we don’t stop to think if the problem is really is the problem. As per my professional summary. I would like to highlight some of my skills:- Good understanding of Algorithms, Data Structures, Design Patterns, Object-oriented/ Functional Principles, and Software architectures. Good communication skills and experience in working with teams of different sizes. Knowledgeable of Backend and Frontend best practices. Also, I would like to mention some of my achievements and contributions as well:- Recently my blog got published in Rubyweekly's 597, 600, and 603 editions. Very popular Ruby weekly digest. Created a library called SAUR that parses the swagger file and generates RESTLET routes (github.com/murtaza-bagwala/saur). Contributions to open-source space https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/commits?author=murtaza-bagwala Created an algorithm to calculate the player's rank and leaderboard in linear time using the Self Balanced Binary Search Tree which was used across all our igaming trivia apps (github.com/murtaza-bagwala/ranking-and-leaderboard).
