Main skills: I am a senior fullstack engineer with 10+ years building production web applications end to end, with a strong backend focus on Ruby on Rails. I own features from requirements and schema design through implementation, tests, deploy, production operations, and monitoring — and led a 9-person team for about 2.5 years.
Backend & APIs — Ruby on Rails is my main stack: REST/JSON APIs, background jobs (Sidekiq, Solid Queue), caching (Redis, Solid Cache), and PostgreSQL / MySQL. I care about reliability, observability, and keeping deploys boring.
Streaming & data — Apache Kafka, Debezium (CDC), ClickHouse, and Apache Solr for search.
Frontend — HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, and StimulusJS for interactive UIs (often Redux-Saga for async flows). I’ve also worked with EmberJS and AngularJS on older codebases.
Production & monitoring — I work directly with staging and production servers; New Relic, Monit, and logrotate; release planning and follow-up on production metrics and incidents.
Planning & leadership — About 2.5 years as team leader of a 9-member team: mentoring, project management, estimation, code review, 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.
