I build and maintain production web applications end to end, with a strong bias toward the backend.
Backend & APIs — Ruby on Rails is my main stack: REST/JSON APIs, background jobs (Sidekiq, Solid Queue), caching (Redis, Solid Cache), and PostgreSQL tuning (indexes, partitioning, window functions). I care about reliability, observability, and keeping deploys boring.
Frontend — React and TypeScript for interactive UIs, often with Redux-Saga for async flows. I’ve also worked with EmberJS and AngularJS on older codebases.
Platform & performance — Nginx, Puma, Docker, Ansible on DigitalOcean; log rotation, monitoring, and practical optimizations (page caching, WebP, bundle splitting, Solr search).
Leadership — I’ve led and mentored teams (up to 9 people at ZIGExN VeNtura), done code review, estimation, and aligning technical work with product goals — while still shipping code myself.
If you’re hiring for someone who can own a feature from schema design to production metrics, that’s the lane I’m in.
