About

I’m a senior Ruby on Rails and full stack developer with 10+ years of experience building SaaS products, APIs, and data-heavy web applications. I help startups and growing companies turn complex ideas into reliable, scalable systems. Most of my work involves Rails backends, PostgreSQL, third-party API integrations, and performance optimization for production systems. I’ve delivered 50+ projects for clients across the US, UK, and Europe through long-term contracts and repeat engagements. My focus is always clean architecture, predictable delivery, and systems that are easy to maintain after launch. Typical work I handle: Ruby on Rails SaaS applications and APIs Database design, optimization, and large-scale PostgreSQL systems Third-party integrations (Stripe, Shopify, Amazon, eBay, internal APIs) AI-assisted workflows, automation, and internal tools Performance fixes, refactors, and scaling existing products If you need someone who can own the backend, think in systems, and communicate clearly, I’m happy to help.
