Hire diretor / equipe freelance Ruby on Rails developers in United States

Got my start in Java almost 20 years ago, then moved to PHP before finding home in Ruby and Rails. There's no other stack quite like it and I'm content here. Passionate about refactoring and improving the quality of existing code. RSpec is my jam because it's expressive DSL is easy to read and understand. I don't believe that strict adherence to "design patterns" is always necessarily the best option, especially when adopting those patterns require breaking established conventions. I prefer monoliths to microservices and server-side rendering to SPAs. I like to keep things simple. I like to stick to what works. Containerized apps are fun, but there's just nothing quite like a simple bundle check && bin/dev on your desktop to get you up and running. I've worked in AgTech, FinTech, RegTech, and GovTech-adjacent. AgTech was probably my favorite so far. There were so many new and interesting challenges to tackle in that industry. It was a low-pressure, low-stakes environment where exploration was what the journey was all about.

Been building on the web since the late 90s. Ruby on Rails since 2007. I love building things that solve a need for users. I'm really into the idea exploration, as well as the implementation, focusing on the important parts and what drives the product forward. I enjoy Ruby, JavaScript and everything web - I strive for the simple solution to prove it works, before going for the more complex. I spent the last 10 years at a company that grew from 80 people when I started to more than 6000 when I left. I've been working on all parts of the stack. I enjoy full stack web development. I like thinking about the UI and making it look crisp. I feel super comfortable on the frontend and likewise on the backend. I have launched, failed and succeeded with multiple side projects. I've worked on everything from small nice-to-use UI details to more complex payment code. I absolutely love Ruby on Rails and the tools it gives me, which makes implementing features and ideas very very fast. I'm good at css, I love JavaScript. I write code because it solves problems for users and that's what excites me :)

I'm fortunate to have gathered many years of experience working with Shopify, focusing mainly on full-stack web development. My background in both programming and entrepreneurship has given me a broad perspective that I try to bring to each project. I'm constantly motivated to learn and integrate new technologies, a passion that keeps me engaged in my work. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with various Shopify merchants, from startups to more established businesses. While web development is my core competency, I also have some experience in marketing, which has proven helpful in understanding client objectives holistically. Technologically, I'm comfortable working with a suite of tools that include Ruby on Rails, Stimulus, Turbo, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, and React. Ruby on Rails is my go-to full-stack framework, and I've also picked up some proficiency in JavaScript, among other technologies. It's an ongoing journey to maintain expertise in creating contemporary web applications.

As an experienced software engineer with over 20 years of expertise in web application development and technical team leadership, I have shown my ability to deliver results. Throughout my career, I have collaborated in two company acquisitions, as a tech lead at GoToast, and as the CTO at ROXIMITY. I'm passionate about finding the right balance when creating software that meets business needs, scales smoothly, and is easy to maintain. What I'm looking for is the opportunity to learn and collaborate with intelligent and motivated teams. My proven track record demonstrates my commitment to excellence and my ability to achieve results. I'm excited to bring my experience and expertise to amazing companies, teams, and products.

Senior engineer with experience in both greenfield and legacy codebases. I believe that developer happiness and productivity are doubly linked and strive to optimize for both. I'm at my best when I can take ownership of high-stakes features and work with business units to understand the technical and business tradeoffs. Collaborative, no-ego teams are my favorite to foster. Most recently I've been working in the fintech industry on a legacy monolith application with Hotwire and ViewComponents. I've worked successfully with both US and overseas development teams and enjoy providing a multiplicative effect on my colleagues.

I am the founder and architect of Alchemists where we have a strong focus on software engineering principals and the joy of the craft in general. More about me can be found here: https://alchemists.io/team/brooke_kuhlmann

I'm a Vermont-based full-stack engineer with 15 years experience with Ruby on Rails. Specializing in maintaining, integrating, and enhancing API backends, I've exceled at partnering with domain experts to achieve high impact goals throughout my career. Particular accomplishments I'm proud of include designing software to streamline public housing placements and maintaining a data pipeline that reported daily COVID numbers during the pandemic.

I help Products thrive through user-centered design, and the ability to wear multiple hats. Using Ruby on Rails as my foundation, I've built, deployed, and maintained Products that leverage (React, React Native, Electron, and more recently, Hotwire) as a Solo Developer and UX Designer. (Need help migrating some React code to Hotwire? I can help!) With a background in UX design and 10 years of invaluable lessons, I've developed a keen focus on: Shipping features quickly without big designs upfront. Spotting areas of technical debt early. Enhancing and simplifying UI by minimizing its required interactions. Writing tests that focus on what matters. Recent things that i'm proud of: A small frontend input validations library I made called 'stimulus-inline-input-validations' was included in the Hotwire weekly newsletter. My open source contributions to this very site! (RailsDevs) My article (Using Custom Turbo Actions with StimulusJS) was included in the Short Ruby Newsletter
