Hire mid-level Ruby on Rails developers in Canada

What makes me unique as a developer is the blend of purpose, adaptability, and real-world impact that drives my work. I didn’t get into software development simply to build cool apps — I started coding to solve problems that matter to people. From streamlining administrative systems for local government in Zimbabwe to creating an online marketplace that helps small businesses sell car parts more effectively, my projects are always rooted in tangible value and usability. One of my recent accomplishments is developing a digital change-of-use permit system for Harare City Council using Ruby on Rails. What makes this special isn’t just the tech stack — it’s the fact that I took a bureaucratic, paper-heavy process and transformed it into something efficient, trackable, and accessible. It’s a small but meaningful contribution toward digital transformation in a context where it's needed most. I’m passionate about building platforms that empower communities, particularly in underserved markets. Whether it’s launching PartsToGo, a growing car parts marketplace in Zimbabwe, or conceptualizing platforms like TendersZimbabwe, I love taking on the kind of challenges where impact matters more than hype. I bring not only the technical skills — full-stack development, systems thinking, clean and maintainable code — but also a strong sense of empathy and purpose to every line I write. I thrive where others may hesitate: limited resources, unclear paths, and bold ideas. My strength lies in turning vision into product, especially when the goal is to make life easier, more efficient, and more just for real people.

I am a passionate full-stack developer, AI researcher, and aspiring biomedical engineer with a strong foundation in software development, data science, and hardware prototyping.

In addition, my academic specialization is in data analytics, particularly in regard to bioinformatics, such as Clinical and Genome informatics. Analyzing data with a python-based scripting language, Snakemake, and constructing comprehensive analysis reports with genomics libraries as well as R markdown. With experience in full-stack development using React (Next.js), Express.js, Ruby on Rails, and cloud deployment on Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Fly.io, Render and Heroku, I have developed an inventory management platforms, and AI-driven predictive models, and am currently working on an e-commerce application. I thrive in roles that challenge me to innovate, whether it’s designing seamless user interfaces, optimizing backend performance, or integrating machine learning for real-world applications. Beyond software, I have worked on biomedical and sports tech innovations, including a head-mounted IMU wearable for motion tracking that outperformed industry standards in 3 metric analytics. I also have experience prior to my capstone collaborating in engineering teams to develop smaller prototypes for various technologies such as sepsis monitor, virtual reality training program for biomedical technicals, and various other small projects in my degree. My background in bioinformatics and AI research has allowed me to develop a sepsis prediction model using machine learning, focusing on optimizing predictive accuracy through feature engineering and statistical modeling. I am driven by curiosity, problem-solving, and a commitment to delivering impactful solutions. Whether it’s scaling a startup idea, designing AI models for healthcare, or crafting efficient backend architectures, I bring a blend of technical expertise and entrepreneurial vision.

I’m a full-stack developer with a strong passion for building scalable and efficient solutions. Over the years, I’ve worked on projects in finance, education, healthcare, and logistics, helping businesses optimize their processes and deliver better experiences to users. My journey as a developer started with a deep curiosity about how things work under the hood. This led me to master Ruby on Rails and other technologies that allow me to build robust applications from backend to frontend. I enjoy solving complex problems, writing clean and maintainable code, and constantly learning new technologies to improve my craft.

I love working with Rails, so much that I’ve worked with it for over 10 years now :)

Full stack vanilla Ruby on Rails developer with 20 years of remote work experience. I started out writing HTML, graduated to PHP, then UI/UX work, before I found Ruby on Rails and experienced the "Developer Happiness" associated with Ruby. Most recently I've been working on my own Rails SaaS product called RinkBook.ca. I can provide help from concept to launch for your MVP, getting you up and running quickly to validate your ideas.

As an experienced small team developer, I bring drive, grit and proficiency in Rails, Hotwire, Stimulus, View Components, and Tailwind/Bootstrap. I've got experience refactoring critical app flows, improving CI/CD using Github Actions, as well as experience with deployment and scaling setups with cloud providers like Google Cloud and AWS. Notable achievements include implementing architectural changes that slashed error rates by ~63%, spearheading the development of a comprehensive test suite for a new app achieving ~92% coverage and improving poor page rendering times by ~70% through careful profiling and targeted changes. I've been trusted to lead refactorings of key application internals, and been involved a few application architecture improvement projects at the startups I've been at. Beyond the technical aspects of the job, I actively engage in community-building initiatives, including organizing Toronto Ruby's monthly meetups and contributing to The Odin Project and Ruby for Good projects. This involvement underscores my commitment to continual growth and skill enhancement. Outside of the tech realm, I find joy in analog photography, cherishing the creative freedom it affords. I am eager to apply my diverse skill set to creating cultures of collaboration and to contribute to organizational and personal success.

I am a huge fan of Rails, and have over 18 years experience using it. I appreciate clean, easy to read and easy to understand code. I have worked on many different projects from Rails 1-7, in every stage of development from greenfield to startup to legacy projects. I am a big fan of the recent Hotwire additions to Rails, and have worked on a number of projects using Turbo and StimulusJS. I am a full stack developer, but prefer to follow Rails standards and keep Javascript code minimal to maximize productivity. I am a strong problem solver and excel at designing systems and solving bugs. I really like to collaborate and create the best product possible.

Hello! My name is Manuel Lopez, and I'm a passionate and motivated developer eager to make an impact in the tech industry.
