Looking only for contract work | 0-to-1 Development | Rails developer (12+ years) | Sidekiq | RabbitMQ | Hotwire, Stimulus and Turbo | CTO | 0-to-1 Apps

I’m a Rails developer with over 12 years of experience in software development, including 10+ years working hands-on with Ruby on Rails. Along the way, I’ve built all kinds of applications—automation tools, ERPs, inventory management systems, insurtech platforms, social media apps, and even AI-integrated solutions. I’ve always focused on creating large-scale, high-performance apps that can handle thousands of concurrent records without breaking a sweat. I’ve worked with both SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases, making sure they’re set up for speed and scalability. On the backend, I’m well-versed in Sidekiq and RabbitMQ for background processing, and on the frontend, I use tools like Hotwire, Turbo, and Stimulus to make apps fast and interactive. When it comes to deployment, I’ve got plenty of experience with Google Cloud, AWS, and Fly.io, which lets me build infrastructure that’s as reliable as it is scalable. The recent apps I've developed have included AI integration with OpenAI and Anthropic APIs. At present, I'm also setting up an internal LLM for speeding up software development. What makes me stand out? I code fast. Really fast. I’m great at taking an idea from zero to a fully functioning app in just days, without cutting corners on quality. Having worked in Asia and Europe, I’ve learned how to adapt to different clients and challenges, which helps me deliver exactly what’s needed, every time. Recently, I co-founded my own software consulting firm, where I get to use my skills and experience to help businesses grow and succeed. Outside of coding, I’m passionate about dogs, I love solving crosswords, and I’m a bit of a political nerd. These hobbies keep my mind sharp and my creativity flowing, which is probably why I enjoy tackling complex coding challenges. I know Ruby and Rails inside out, and I thrive on turning big ideas into reality—quickly and efficiently. If you need someone who can hit the ground running and deliver results, I’m your developer.

Pragmatic software engineer with Ruby on Rails experience over 15 years

My journey with Ruby on Rails began over 17 years ago, and it's become the backbone of my engineering approach. As a contributor to the Rails framework with multiple patches merged into the core codebase, I've developed a deep understanding of its internals that few developers possess. This knowledge allows me to build solutions that leverage Rails' full potential while avoiding common pitfalls. Throughout my career, I've architected and scaled Rails applications to handle impressive throughput—like the vacation rental platform processing 300 requests per second with sub-second response times. My expertise extends beyond just writing code; I've mastered the art of integrating Rails with modern JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js and React, creating cohesive full-stack experiences that delight users.

This engineering discipline doesn't slow development—it accelerates it by preventing the accumulation of problems that typically plague long-running projects. I bring a holistic approach to development that includes performance optimization, security best practices, and developer experience. When I join a team, I don't just contribute code—I establish robust engineering practices, mentor junior developers, and create an environment where everyone can do their best work. My greatest satisfaction comes from building systems that stand the test of time and teams that continuously improve.

Working in front of a computer was the last thing I wanted when I was in school. "Probably too boring", I thought.
