THE RAILS WAY

I have Battle-tested and Proven Rails expertise.

Architecture & Maintainability

Rails monoliths with clean boundaries (modular by default)
Service extraction only when it pays (cost/benefit, not fashion)
Conventions, guardrails, and teachable systems

Upgrades & Delivery

Incremental upgrades with risk control
CI/CD that teams trust
Health checks, rollback readiness, calm deploys

Testing & Quality

RSpec and/or Minitest depending on the codebase
Capybara system tests when it protects revenue
Pragmatic linting + conventions (guardrails over bureaucracy)

Background Work & Scale

Jobs/queues, retries, idempotency, and failure modes
Postgres + Redis patterns
Observability mindset: logs, metrics, tracing
