Senior Software Engineer | Ruby on Rails | SaaS | APIs | AI Agents | MCP | ERP & Data Integration

I am a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer with a software engineering background dating back to 2007 and a strong focus on Ruby on Rails since 2015.

I specialize in building, maintaining and modernizing business-critical web applications and SaaS platforms. My work often involves complex business logic, APIs, third-party integrations, ERP and data integrations, background processing, and modern Rails frontends with Hotwire.

I work across the full software lifecycle, from requirements analysis and architecture to implementation, testing, deployment, debugging and ongoing optimization. I am comfortable joining an established team and codebase, but I can also take ownership of a technical problem independently and carry it from analysis through production.

My areas of expertise include:

- Ruby on Rails development and architecture

- SaaS and business-critical applications

- REST APIs and third-party integrations

- ERP and data integration

- Hotwire, Turbo and Stimulus

- PostgreSQL and relational databases

- Background jobs and asynchronous processing

- Automated testing with RSpec

- Refactoring and modernization of existing Rails applications

- Performance optimization and troubleshooting

- Complex business logic and workflow automation

- AI-assisted software development and engineering workflows

I also make extensive use of modern AI development tools, including Claude and other AI coding assistants. I have a strong practical understanding of how to use these tools effectively for software engineering, including code analysis, implementation support, refactoring, debugging, test generation, documentation and exploring unfamiliar codebases.

I use AI as an engineering tool rather than as a substitute for engineering judgment. Generated solutions are reviewed, tested and validated, with particular attention to maintainability, security, correctness and the existing architecture of the application.

I am comfortable working with AI-assisted development workflows, context and prompt design, iterative problem solving and combining AI tools with established development practices such as automated testing, code review and version control.

Above all, I value pragmatic solutions, maintainable code and understanding the business problem behind the software. My goal is not simply to write code, but to build software that is reliable, understandable and useful to the people who depend on it.
