The reverse job board for Rails developers

I am a web developer from India, working with Ruby on Rails, React, and Next.js, with a strong foundation in building scalable and user-friendly web applications. Before becoming a full-time developer, I was a teacher at a diploma school. My journey into web development began from scratch, and it wasn’t an easy transition. I started learning through The Odin Project, an open-source, project-oriented curriculum. It emphasized practical learning and warned against the pitfalls of “tutorial hell,” encouraging a hands-on approach from day one. Following this path, I adopted a “read-and-build” mindset: I learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Git, while building real-world projects to solidify my skills. Once I gained confidence with the fundamentals, I ventured framework with React, creating single-page applications that boosted my confidence. I started freelancing while actively seeking full-time roles, which led me to a position at a startup where my journey with Ruby on Rails began. At the startup, I developed likeness for Rails and its “convention over configuration” philosophy. I built RESTful APIs, implemented Active Record ORM, wrote unit tests using Minitest, and integrated these features with front-end user interfaces. I also had the privilege of building projects from scratch, including MVPs—a hands-on experience that sharpened both my technical and problem-solving skills. The only thing that mattered to me is being a better developer than I was the day before.

I'm a developer with two years of experience. I worked with with Slim template engine, TailwindCSS and StimulusJS. Currently studying Evil Martians' Dip gem for managing development environments with docker and testing with RSpec. I'm a fan of simple, expressive and clear code to express the purpose of your project.

I’m a versatile Rails developer with 10+ years of experience building robust web applications, from traditional monoliths to modern client-side apps, REST APIs, and SDKs. I specialize in creating software that’s not only functional but also secure, maintainable, and intuitive—an approach honed through years of working on HIPAA-compliant systems where precision and security are paramount. I stay up to date with current Rails trends and tools, including ViewComponent, Tailwind, Stimulus, Turbo, Inertia, and React. Whether you need to enhance an existing app or build something new from scratch, I bring a deep understanding of the Rails ecosystem and a passion for delivering quality results.

I am Husband, Father of two beautiful children, binge watcher of Netflix, and hard core programmer. I worked about 11 years in research areas and industry, have worked in web app development for more than 8 years. I have experience in Ruby on Rails backend API development as well as web development. Also very good in VueJS front end web development. I have worked in agile environments with complex industrial-grade applications with technologies like Swagger REST API, GraphQL API, MVC architectures and Database architecture designs. I have done 2 years research in machine learning and computer vision with successful 1 conference paper(Singapore) and 1 journal paper(USA) published. I also contribute to open-source community, StackOverflow and early startups as well. I have worked in embedded systems, robotics, computer vision, machine learning and web development. This shows I am dynamic in approach to jobs and can work with whatever job assigned to me with positive attitude and team player characteristics.

My Journey as a developer: Started exploring Ruby/Rails ecosystem after learning Laravel in uni. I've learnt a lot of frameworks since then, from Typescript/Node.js projects to Elixir/Phoenix distributed apps. Recent Milestone: Built a big feature for Telstra's internal tool -- Cross Domain Intelligence, that shows the end-to-end connection between Service Customers router's and Telstra's networks. Infrastructure relies on a NoSQL Graph Database called ArangoDB, and was able to optimize the query to display every Service Customer (40k+ records), and also the query displaying the devices between each Service Customer and Telstra router has 10- 40 nodes. Something new I learned: Explore the usage of numpy and pandas on Python with Jupyter Notebook to model data. My Passion: I’m passionate about subscribing and contributing to the developer community. My open-source work with Ruby on Rails and other projects reflects my belief in collaboration and knowledge sharing. I take pride in writing clean, maintainable code and mentoring others to do the same, creating environments where innovation flourishes. What Sets Me Apart: Prioritize refactoring code, squash bugs, and emphasizing technical debt before it grows bigger :)

I’m a designer-turned-developer with a background in customer service from Apple, blending a passion for user experience with strong technical skills. With expertise in Ruby on Rails, Hotwire, and React, I build full-stack applications and seamless front-end experiences. I founded Bordeaux.rb to connect local developers and share knowledge. I thrive in end-to-end project ownership, from design to deployment, using tools like Kamal for smooth CI/CD. My unique edge lies in bridging the gap between design and code, delivering clean, maintainable solutions that delight users and solve real problems.

Developer Journey: Fell in love with Ruby while automating workflows; Rails became my go-to for building powerful, scalable applications. Key Milestone: Decomposed Rails Monolith into Multiple Java Spring Boot Applications for Scaling. Successfully migrated a legacy Rails 5 app to Rails 7, improving API response times by 40% with optimized queries and caching. Recent Learning: Exploring Hotwire for blending server-side rendering with modern interactivity to enhance UX. Passion: Writing clean, maintainable code and simplifying complex problems with scalable solutions. What Sets Me Apart: Strong focus on business needs, mentoring teams, and tackling challenging features with a mix of technical expertise and empathy.

I've been a software engineer and leader for 18 years, with a focus on Ruby on Rails for the last 13. Over the last 5 years, my expertise has centered around mobile apps, with React Native or Swift frontend work, along with Rails API. In my side projects I'm developing my use of Hotwire and Hotwire-Native. Since 2016, I've fluctuated between individual contributor and managing people and teams. I generally prefer Individual or player-coach roles, and am not pursuing pure hands-off management. I see myself as the ultimate full-stack engineer. I'm comfortable working backend, web, mobile, as well as CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and devSecOps. Although I prefer Rails and React Native, I'm a polyglot and have recently worked in PHP Laravel, Java Swing, Django and FastApi in Python. I'm happy to work in these platforms, and I'll always advocate for the right tools for the job.

As a fundraising platform, we aim to offer a diverse range of payment options for donors. I was tasked, along with another developer, to integrate Braintree's Apple Pay and Google Pay into our platform. Braintree provided extensive documentation for integration, so we had a basic understanding of the steps involved. However, there's more to it than just accepting payments. There were many elements on the payment page we needed to handle, such as reCaptcha, input validations, and displaying payment results. Additionally, we had to create many other records post-payment. To ensure we didn’t break existing functionalities, we relied on test specs to guide us and created a test matrix to validate the new payment integration. I generated a couple of ngrok URLs for my teammate and me to test Apple Pay and Google Pay, as they only accept payments from public domains. I also created test accounts and cards on Apple Developer and Google Console. My teammate and I had a 4-hour time difference, which meant I sometimes had to stay late to sync up with her to discuss progress and roadblocks. We completed the project in roughly 1 month. Today, Apple Pay accounts for 26% of one of our largest campaigns, amounting to approximately $1.45 million.
