Senior Full-Stack Ruby on Rails Engineer · Remote · Contract

I help teams build, evolve, and operate reliable, revenue-critical SaaS and data-intensive platforms.

My work focuses on long-lived systems that are easy to maintain, adapt, and scale over time — especially in environments where data quality, performance, and reliability matter.

I value pragmatic engineering, clear communication, and systems that deliver what they promise — in production.

Good software should be dependable, understandable, and flexible enough to support change over its lifetime.
