招聘 Ruby on Rails 开发者

I became a full-time developer 20+ ago and have worked with a wide variety of languages and frameworks and held many roles. I started using Ruby and Rails in 2005 and it's by far my preferred toolkit. I enjoy working with legacy code bases and upgrading and improving them. I've spent a great deal of time on such tasks. My first project was a publishing solution for a major US shipping magazine called Pacific Shipper using AppleScript as the glue. It had everything: a GUI, import and export modules, networking, database interaction and Web publishing via ColdFusion. It was a wizard-driven conversion tool for porting a digital print file to a Web site. Along the way I got to experience most challenges facing a young and inexperienced developer, including how to interact with end users and product owners, bug fixes, deployment and versioning and more. The classic learn-as-you-go scenario. Since then, I went into ASP, Java (J2EE, JSP), build and deploy tooling, Struts and finally landing on Ruby and Rails in 2006. This has been by far my preferred toolkit since then. I have a passing acquaintance with iOS and Android development as well though would need a refresher. Having worked almost exclusively on the backend of things, with the arrival of Rails 8 I have happily re-entered the frontend domain and find it very rewarding. I consider myself a life-long learner and have over the years picked up useful soft skills, having worked in many diverse situations. I've lived and worked in many geographic location as well and am native in English, Swedish and German, fluent in French. In the past I have contributed to most phases of product development, from concept and wire framing to server setup. I've spent a significant amount of time in e-commerce and content management systems. I enjoy seeing a project from a high level perspective, rather than starting at a database schema level: outside in rather than inside out. I consider myself a pragmatist and will not by default try to build everything myself if a reasonable alternative exists. By the same token, I'm in favour of carefully curating and vetting libraries to include in a project. I prefer to move with a purpose and shipping often rather than sitting on a feature until it's "perfect". I have no bias against working with legacy code, in fact I enjoy it! Spelunking is a a great way to learn and understand.

With over 15 years in software engineering, my primary expertise lies in Ruby on Rails, a framework that has been my trusted companion for over a decade. I also possess strong skills in various other programming languages, including Python, Node.js, JavaScript, and Java. My passion for technology goes beyond conventional web development. I'm well-versed in mobile app development, having worked with Android, Flutter, and even creating interactive HTML5 games with Phaser. My diverse skill set allows me to tackle a wide range of software projects. What sets me apart is my commitment to clean, maintainable, and highly readable code. Ruby on Rails, in particular, has been my tool of choice, as it not only enhances my productivity but also ensures codebase elegance. In the ever-evolving world of web development, staying agile and adaptable is essential. As a Full Stack Engineer, I thrive in both front-end and back-end domains. My experience extends to crafting responsive web designs, using tools like Bootstrap, HTML5, and CSS3. I am proficient in popular front-end frameworks, such as React, Vue, Ember.js, and Lightning. My hands-on experience in deploying applications to production environments is extensive, with expertise in platforms like Amazon AWS and Heroku. I have a proven track record of delivering robust, scalable, and secure solutions that meet the needs of modern businesses. If you're looking for a seasoned Full Stack Engineer with a deep understanding of Ruby on Rails and a versatile skill set in web and mobile development, I'd love to connect and explore how we can collaborate on your next project or venture.

I am a software engineer, programming mentor, and tech intrapreneur. I specialize in building elegant and functional web solutions, primarily using Ruby on Rails. With over ten years of experience, I've developed a diverse portfolio of web applications and services using Ruby, JavaScript, Node.js, and more. My expertise extends to integrating web services, scaling applications, and managing infrastructure and security across numerous projects. Beyond my professional work, I mentor students and professionals looking to develop their Ruby and JavaScript skills. Sharing knowledge and helping others achieve their goals has become a rewarding extension of my career. I approach technology not as an end goal but as a means to solve meaningful problems. This perspective is reinforced by my practice of Parkour, whose philosophy of overcoming obstacles and adapting to challenges influences how I approach both programming and life.

I'm a full stack (plus devops, plus data eng) developer with a penchant for human interaction. In the past, I've thrived in "solutions" roles, I've gotten a solid start on management skills, and I've helped launch many a startup. I love mentoring junior devs and helping a company have an excellent technical and social culture. You might also like my full Ruby Conf talk from a few years ago (it's a good simple intro!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXCvQCOZs78 I can help you bring your idea from zero to launch - literally every step - from ideation and product to traffic analysis and hosting, and of course what we're all here for: ruby code :)

I am an accomplished Head of Engineering with over 9 years of experience driving innovation and leading high-performing engineering teams. Throughout my career, I have consistently built and scaled engineering organizations, delivered complex software solutions, and driven significant business impact.   My "developer origin story" is grounded in hands-on software development. I honed my skills in Ruby on Rails early on, and I'm particularly proud of my commitment to quality, like when I took untested production apps to 95% code coverage. This foundation as a developer deeply informs my leadership approach, giving me a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities my teams face. A recent highlight includes my time as CTO at Sonatafy, where I developed AI screening to improve hiring and recruiting efficiency.   Building and scaling teams is a passion of mine, demonstrated by my experiences at Spring Health and Freshly, where I rapidly expanded engineering teams while maintaining a focus on delivery and quality. I excel at connecting technology with business strategy, and I have a proven track record of driving key business metrics and reducing costs through innovative solutions. For example, I owned the engineering of an internal EHR at Spring Health, which decreased expenditures in the tens of millions annually.   My unique skills lie in the blend of my technical expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership capabilities. I'm adept at system architecture, project management, and IT strategy, with a focus on fostering collaboration and enhancing operational efficiency. I believe in investing in people, and I am committed to mentoring, training, and guiding teams, even through complex transitions like the billion-dollar acquisition I navigated at Freshly.

I’ve been developing ruby on rails webs for 9 years. Maintaining, upgrading and improving performance have been my main tasks and responsability

With solid experience in Ruby on Rails, I specialize in building scalable web applications, ensuring high-performance backend systems, and optimizing SQL databases for efficiency. Proficient in TypeScript and React, I craft dynamic, maintainable frontend components while integrating robust backend services. My development approach is anchored in Test-Driven Development (TDD), fostering reliable and efficient codebases. Passionate about clean architecture and automation, I continuously explore emerging technologies to enhance development workflows.

I'm Matt Lins, and I have an extensive 18-year background in web development, specializing in Ruby on Rails. I've applied my craft to build scalable E-commerce, Healthcare, Proptech, and iGaming sites. Along the way, I've led engineering teams to achieve company exits, and in doing so, I've learned that the most sustainable code and tech solutions emerge from the pursuit of simplicity. I advocate for simplicity in development - a belief deeply rooted in the principles of Gall's Law, which I see as essential for creating solutions that focus more on business value than technical complexity.

Who am I? I am Tom Dallimore, a developer originally from the UK but now living in SEA. 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 business 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.

My journey as a developer started when I was selected to build internal software for my college to track exchange students. With little more than curiosity and determination, I dove into Ruby on Rails—and I haven’t looked back since. Since then, I’ve worked on meaningful, real-world Rails applications like CancerCare, where I helped modernize a legacy codebase for a national nonprofit. I improved performance, redesigned the UI, fixed long-standing bugs, and restored core features like Elasticsearch—all while learning how to work within the constraints of an active production system that people rely on daily. What makes me unique is that I’m not just focused on writing code—I care about why the product exists, who it's serving, and how to build something that lasts. I'm passionate about clear communication, thoughtful refactoring, and learning new tools that help me do better work. For example, I’ve recently built my own project, Shoe Sensei, which uses Rails, Hotwire, Stimulus, and a full testing suite to provide a fast, dynamic user experience. I approach development with curiosity and care. I like understanding how things work under the hood and making small, meaningful improvements that add up over time.
