Hire senior Ruby on Rails developers in Canada

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

Hi there, I discovered Rails before it was mainstream and have been in love with it ever since. I've now been doing Rails development for over 20 years and worked in many industries including banking, health care, parks and recreation, travel and real estate among others.

I've run my 1-person agency since 2006. Through my agency, I've engaged with many companies as engineering staff augmentation, helping teams ship features, clean up tech debt, train juniors, etc. I've worked with both product companies as well as agencies. When I'm not working with a client, I love bootstrapping my own projects. This year (2024) I've spent some time on "small bets", for which I've solo launched 3 completely to market. I'm hoping to complete a 4th before year end. At the end of 2023, I completed a 7 year near-full-time contract for a company in the HIPAA / digital health space, for which I was the original developer for their product. This product went on to earn millions of dollars in profit. Along with being the original developer, I helped train and onboard the rest of their engineering team in the best practices of Ruby, web, backend, etc. I'm incredibly active in the Ruby community, and you'd often find me working on one of my passion projects or assisting newcomers and other developers in the Ruby ecosystem. My skills don't stop just at Rails - I'm proficient in many other technologies and am capable of learning new ones. I aim to please and enjoy delivering on high expectations. I can be often found working on home improvements or in the kitchen (I love baking bread!).

Multiple careers - started development in 2004 - and by 2005 I was on Rails. Ruby/Rails has been my goto tech since then. M.Sc. degree(s) in multiple tech domains. Over the years, I've had my own business ventures, led tech teams, mentored young-lings and peers, delved in ML and AI and still curious to this day. I'm passionate about AI and the new-wave of AI-capable solutions. I'm creating my first few RAG solutions. I can delve deep and talk business at the same time.

I’m a full-stack developer with over 10 years of experience, focused on building SaaS applications. I work mostly with Ruby on Rails, React and Postgres, and I’ve handled everything from backend to deployment to analytics. I’ve built and maintained apps like HTTPScout, an uptime monitor, doing everything from writing the code to setting up the infrastructure. I enjoy taking on big projects, and I’m used to figuring things out as I go. I’ve run my own small ventures, worked as an engineering manager at PagerDuty, and understand both the technical and business sides of software. I like clean, simple solutions that work. I’m also experienced with DevOps and prefer keeping things well-documented. If you need someone who can build and launch a project end-to-end, I'd love to chat.

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.

I am a passionate technical expert, software craftsman, entrepreneur and mentor. I offer hands on experience in solving business problems, making software, and building engineer- ing teams that make software. I analyze business needs and take on the responsibility of ensuring strategically significant business results. I practice, implement and lead using proven software engineering techniques to ensure quality, accelerated delivery of working software.

I'm a man of many hats - I design things, code apps and more. I've worked with mom and pop shops to banking, hospitality and healthcare industries.

I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer and AI Engineer with strong Development Knowledge and a high intend to enhance my knowledge and adopt the dynamic aspects of the IT Industry. I started my career as a full-stack web developer in mid-2015. The tools that we use and the capabilities of my development skills started changing every day. Now I am experienced in Full Stack Development and ML Engineer as well. I am comfortable on both sides. I am working remotely with US clients since 4+ years. Hope you will love working with me when we get started.

I'm a software engineer based in Vancouver, BC with 27 years of experience in the software industry. My focus in the last 12 years has been full stack web development with React, Rails, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL.
