Junior Full Stack Web Developer recently graduated from New Vision Foundation bootcamp.

New profile

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!

Senior Fullstack Engineer | Tech Lead | 6 years experience

Hi ... I'm Francis. With a background in Electrical and Electronics engineering, I have worked in fast paced startups over the last 6 years to build and scale applications that are not only purposeful and maintainable but also evolve to leverage new tech and trends. Recently, I worked to architect and implement two mobile app applications and web apps all powered with Rails and integrating AI in search, recommendation and extraction areas. This has helped them get to a level of personalization that beats competitors and increased our retention rates by over 30%. Whether you are seeking a team lead, CTO, or a driven and adaptable backend or frontend engineer to join your team, I am a highly capable and experienced professional ready to make a lasting impact. Over my years in engineering, I have learnt that conventions only take you so far, experimenting with the new, the different and the niche often moves the needle in business and can be what makes a customer stay. This has inspired me to venture into ViewComponent, Plex and even AI to see what can be improved or done different to surpass the customer requirements using Rails and related stacks. Having worked with various platforms including AWS, GCP, HuggingFace and more, I am always willing to learn and keep chipping at hard problems and leveraging what exists to build solve business and engineering problems. I look forward to chatting about your busines and how my skills and expertise can be of value to your team, clients and business objectives. My skills of interest in this domain include: Ruby on Rails, TailwindCss, HotWire and Stimulus, React, Bootstrap, JQuery, Heroku, AWS, GCP, Azure, HuggingFace, DevOps, MongoDB, PostgresQL and more.
