招聘 junior Ruby on Rails 开发者 在 United States

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.

With 5+ years of Rails experience, I come with a wide range of experiences and love to delve into new projects. I am working on a variety of pure Rails apps, leveraging the power of Hotwire and TailwindCSS on the front end. My personal project is https://anecdot.co, a platform for recording, preserving, and sharing life stories.

I’m a junior full stack developer with a strong focus on Ruby on Rails and front-end design. My journey into software development started with a personal desire to create tools that simplify people’s lives — from project management apps to full client websites. What began as curiosity quickly became a passion, and today I’m building full-stack web applications with real-world API integrations, OAuth authentication, PostgreSQL databases, Docker, and clean, mobile-responsive front-end design. Recently, I completed an apprenticeship where I worked on a nonprofit SaaS platform alongside a professional engineering team. There, I deepened my experience with Rails 7, complex database migrations, OAuth token management, Docker containers, and production deployment processes. I also contributed to front-end UI improvements using Bootstrap, Tailwind, and Figma wireframes to enhance usability. I take pride in my ability to bridge the gap between back-end logic and polished front-end design. My previous background in customer-facing roles taught me how to listen carefully to user needs, communicate clearly, and collaborate smoothly on a team. I'm especially passionate about building intuitive, well-organized, user-friendly applications that feel good to use — and that scale with the needs of real people. I love the balance of structure and creativity that Rails offers, and I'm excited to continue building meaningful tools that make people's lives easier. Whether it’s integrating APIs, refining complex forms, or making sure a UI flows naturally, I enjoy solving problems and learning fast. If you're looking for a junior developer who’s reliable, coachable, eager to contribute, and can deliver polished features from database to browser — I’d love to connect!

I am a career-changer that has always found ways to use my coding skills to enhance my value. I am seeking to transition into software development full time. As a career "pivot," I have a strong and reliable work history. I have been the director of a non-profit subsidiary, managed the development of a Salesforce platform for a program providing college education to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students (700+ students in six locations), launched a temporary supportive housing program for formerly incarcerated college students working towards completion of their degrees, and previously worked as a paralegal at law firms defending doctors and hospitals in healthcare litigation. All of this built upon a degree in business with a concentration in mathematics. As a developer, I attended a coding boot camp focused on Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript. I have a portfolio of student projects to show for it, but most of my recent coding has focused around open source contributions to projects like Dry-rb and Hanami, including a major refactor of the Hanami Router library. I am insatiably curious and love to learn. I am an excellent communicator, with experience writing documentation, delivering talks, and teaching seminars. I believe that learning, teaching, and collaboration are the three founts of productivity and innovation. I would love to speak with you about how I can contribute to your project and team!

As an accomplished senior Full Stack developer with 9 years of mastery in Ruby on Rails and Single Page Application (SPA) development using React, Vue.

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.

I began learning Ruby on Rails in 2018 but truly started to understand it during COVID-19. Learned to switch the code from ERB to haml for templating, server-side rendering with Hotwire/Stimulus. Analyze the code for accessibility issues and remediate as needed. Integrated HTML5 video playback, Stripe payments integration, Sendgrid email relay services, Google Cloud SDK, Heroku deployment, among others.
