Product-Focused Engineer β’ Ruby on Rails Veteran β’ Builder of Beautiful Things (and Strange Ones)
Welcome to my corner of the internet β where code meets creativity, and half-finished ideas eventually find purpose.
Iβve spent 12+ years crafting and scaling full-stack applications with Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and a mix of front-end frameworks (React, Vue, Hotwire, and a pinch of chaos**).
I build opinionated systems that feel good to use β because good software should respect your time and your sanity.
- MVPs that actually ship (and scale)
- Tools for humans who still believe in craft
- Platforms that make collaboration, not consumption, the point
- Software that doesnβt pretend to be "AI-first," just human-friendly
