If you're looking for a Rails developer you can rely on, you're in the right place.
I build, maintain, and scale web applications with Ruby on Rails. Whether you need a new MVP, help with an existing codebase, or backend and frontend work across your stack, I can help.
Outside of client work, I write about software development at Write Software, Well, read by 25,000+ developers each month.

How I Work
- Discovery — We discuss your business, your goals, and what you need built. I'll give you an honest assessment of how I can help.
- Build — I work iteratively, delivering working code in short cycles. You see progress early and often, and can adjust direction along the way.
- Deliver & Support — I deploy, monitor, and support what I build. Most clients continue with ongoing development after the initial project.
