Stack Overflow
Ruby/Q&A track record. I’m in the top tier for Ruby based on contributions (see profile).
RUBY ON RAILS — BOSS LEVEL
A dedicated page for recruiters and engineers who want hard signal: how I build Rails systems, what I’ve used, and where to verify.
PROOF
Places where my Rails/Ruby work shows up in public.
GitHub
Repos, tooling, experiments, and shipped code in public.
Professional timeline and leadership context.
WHAT I DO IN RAILS
The work recruiters usually mean when they say “prove it.”
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
