As a professional Ruby on Rails developer based in Boston, I bring over a decade of professional experience building, scaling, and modernizing web and mobile applications. My work has consistently centered on solving complex technical challenges while keeping products elegant, maintainable, and fast. In my current role, I help lead the modernization of a mission-critical Rails monolith from Rails 4.x to Rails 8, integrating Hotwire and Stimulus to drastically improve performance and maintainability. We introduced ViewComponents and TailwindCSS to establish a clean, reusable design system, and pioneered the use of Hotwire Native to deliver hybrid apps to both iOS and Android platforms. Beyond the backend, I’ve worked in real-time UX by streaming generative AI responses through Turbo Frames and Streams, bringing instant interactivity to Rails and mobile users alike.
In my previous position I designed and built a multi-tenant SaaS platform used by hundreds of real estate brokerages across the country. My role there combined thoughtful product design in Figma with robust Rails architecture and API integrations with Stripe, Zillow, and Twilio. I also championed testing and CI/CD practices that reduced production bugs by more than 30%, proving that strong engineering discipline directly improves business outcomes.
Outside of work, I’m always experimenting with new tools and frameworks, building Web, Mac, iOS, and Android apps that blend Ruby on Rails, Hotwire Native, Swift, and Kotlin. When I’m not coding, I’m exploring the outdoors—hiking, cycling, or ice climbing—or wandering through Boston’s coffee shops and bookstores with my fiancé. I bring the same curiosity and focus to software as I do to those pursuits. For Boston companies looking for a ruby on rails developer who combines deep Rails expertise, mobile experience, and a strong product sense, I offer a rare mix of technical leadership and hands-on creativity that gets results!
