Rails Consulting & Rescue Work

Available for Contract Work

I’m currently open to part-time, remote contract or freelance work while I continue my search for a full-time engineering role.

Who I Am

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with deep experience in Ruby on Rails, backend systems, and infrastructure. Over the past decade, I’ve led complex projects, optimized large-scale systems, mentored engineers, and shipped features in collaboration with product managers and designers at companies like NationBuilder, TaxJar, and Planet Argon.

What I Can Help With

• Backend Feature Development – Clean, maintainable Ruby on Rails code
• Infrastructure & Performance – Database tuning and query optimization, background job efficiency, and optimizing application code to reduce CPU and memory bottlenecks
• Legacy Rescue – Stabilizing flaky systems, improving test coverage, reducing tech debt, and helping teams get late projects back on track
• Engineering Support – Technical mentorship, architecture reviews, and helping unblock delivery teams

Why Me?

I’m calm under pressure, good at making sense of complex systems, and have a track record of fixing things that were “kind of working but falling apart.” I don’t just write code — I solve problems, and I help other engineers level up in the process.
