Hire senior Ruby on Rails developers in United States

Hi there 👋 My name is Ben. Ive been a Software Engineer since 2015 and a hobbyist programmer since 2005. Professionally I have primarily done full stack web development in Ruby on Rails and I am passionate about working iteratively and shipping high quality, tested, maintainable code. I am a big fan of the Hotwire front-end. I believe it provides the perfect mix of power and flexibility. I find that most modern products require developers to build full stack features quickly and ship in small iterative chunks, regularly reacting to user feedback. Rails, literally "Turbo"-charged with Turbolinks and Stimulus fit perfectly in this world.

👋 Hello! I create art with various mediums; music, poetry, graphic design, and technology. Ruby on Rails is my go-to web development framework! 💪🏽 I like my Rails mono, Javascript and HTML vanilla, my stylesheets SCSS-y, and my Turbo Hotwired (as soon as I really learn Hotwire). As a self-taught, Full-Stack Developer with a deep understanding of the entire web development process, I love seeing ideas go from concept to products and services. We might be a bad fit if you're looking for a computer scientist. Sorry, mate.

How I can help you I am a Rails and PostgreSQL expert. That means that I am very familiar doing things the rails way. There are things that you can only learn from being in a career for so fifteen years. I call it hidden knowledge. At some point you develop a sixth sense for when and how deep to test, which refactors are necessary, a set of practices for handling ActiveRecord associations. Passions I believe that an expert developer is a unique asset to a company as they can drastically change its course. I like working with startups, and I have 15 years of tips, tricks, techniques, strategies from a technical perspective as well as an business/operational perspective. Developer origin story I've always had a love for this craft. I started building robots, then teaching middle and high schoolers how to build and program robots, while managing my own self hosted networks and distro-hopping linux flavors Unique skills that make me awesome I've written custom PostgreSQL extensions You'll notice with me that I am very quick on the keyboard, and between the well placed lame jokes, combined surgically precise problem solving, I have consistently told me that I am a pleasure to work with. Core Skills ⌨️ Tech skills: - Ruby / Ruby on Rails / Rspec - Javascript / Stimulus.js / Turbo / React / AlpineJS - PostgreSQL / Redis / Sidekiq / Goodjob - Heroku / Github / AWS - View components / Tailwind / Bootstrap Startups I built and sold directmailer.io, a direct mailer marketing platform that provides modern marketing conveniences to a legacy channel. Adheres to compliance within certain verticals, and provides deep integration like you're used to in SEO. I was hired to build the core infrastructure for floridahomesteadcheck.com, a property tax analysis tool that guarantees the lowest property taxes for Florida residents. You! You have an idea worth building

I have 8 years of Rails experience. I’ve worked in enterprise Rails apps all the way down to writing MVP’s for startups. Let me upgrade your Rails app, get you the newest features, and stay up to date with security.

About Me: I am a skilled, self-directed, professional, and practical Ruby and Rails developer. I've worked with Ruby intensely for more than thirteen years; I've worked with Rails since V3. I have substantial expertise developing multi-tenant, software as a service (SaaS) applications and custom e-commerce solutions, and am an ardent practitioner of development best practices, including git workflows, automated tests and deployments, Rubocop-driven style, and idiomatic, efficient, and simple code. I have an advanced degree in computer science, technical, editorial, and creative leadership experience, superior writing skills, a sharp design aesthetic, and an affable personality. I collect art, read mysteries, and try to herd a small pack of dogs.

I am a Product Engineer focusing on full-stack applications and highly scalable backend systems. I am interested in everything web and the opportunity to learn new languages/techniques to solve tasks. I have built banks and might build more. I love everything related to money transactions and thrive in environments where failure is not an option. I am super excited about Ruby on Rails, everything that has changed since version 7, and what is coming in version 8.

Hi! I'm Liz 👋🏼 I'm about as full-stack 🥞 as they come. I started as a QA and automation engineer and now I'm a senior full-stack engineer focusing on Rails and React. Early on as a QA I worked on projects from writing SQL scripts to check data, to automation engineering, to React Native applications, and even helping implement Kafka instances and a team transition to Kubernetes. Then I moved on to development, mostly focusing on Rails / React stacks. I also am very comfortable working in Python. Now I've been a full stack developer for a few years, always carrying my QA mindset with me. I love exploring the ins and outs of a problem, and figuring out where I can pick it apart and expose weaknesses. I'm really great at building relationships with stakeholders, establishing trust and cooperation so that we can all move forward with a project in a very pragmatic way. Pairing with coworkers is always very enjoyable for me. I like the collaboration, but I really value the mentorship the most. Teaching juniors git has become a mainstay for me, as well as coaching them to maintain a calm mindset while debugging, encouraging them to move through issues in a systematic way. And of course I always fit in robust testing, showing folks how to create test suites and pipeline automation that will improve their workflow. Let's talk about how I can contribute to your team and stack 🙌🏻

I help Products thrive through user-centered design, and the ability to wear multiple hats. Using Ruby on Rails as my foundation, I've built, deployed, and maintained Products that leverage (React, React Native, Electron, and more recently, Hotwire) as a Solo Developer and UX Designer. (Need help migrating some React code to Hotwire? I can help!) With a background in UX design and 10 years of invaluable lessons, I've developed a keen focus on: Shipping features quickly without big designs upfront. Spotting areas of technical debt early. Enhancing and simplifying UI by minimizing its required interactions. Writing tests that focus on what matters. Recent things that i'm proud of: A small frontend input validations library I made called 'stimulus-inline-input-validations' was included in the Hotwire weekly newsletter. My open source contributions to this very site! (RailsDevs) My article (Using Custom Turbo Actions with StimulusJS) was included in the Short Ruby Newsletter

Throughout my engineering career I have been focused on shipping high quality Ruby on Rails web applications for startups, SMBs, and Enterprise clients through deep collaboration with internal and external team members and relevant parties. I have extensive experience with Ruby, Rails, Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus, JavaScript, React, automated testing, DevOps/Infrastructure, mentorship, and optimizing the developer experience. I am deeply interested in building web applications that deliver high value both from a technical and a business perspective. In addition to complex, well-tested, and high quality RoR development, I have experience implementing CI/CD workflows, DevOps, external integrations, ETL pipelines, and complex feature requests that require robust collaboration with stakeholders. I constantly seek opportunities to mentor engineers and to stretch my own knowledge and expertise.
