TypeAngle is a small software studio based in beautiful Victoria, BC in Canada. My primary focus is on building web applications in Ruby on Rails, but I can also help you build and maintain marketing websites.
Who am I? My name is Akshay. I've worked as a professional software developer for over a decade: originally in C#/.NET, before falling in love with Ruby in 2021 and switching over to Rails full-time soon after.
After working for a few years as a full-time Rails developer, I started freelancing and then started TypeAngle Studio to help businesses build and maintain websites and web applications using Ruby on Rails.
This isn't a traditional agency. It's a small, focused software studio: just me, working directly with you. I'm not managing a team of junior devs or handing off your project to someone else. You work with an experienced developer who understands both the technical side and the business context.
If after a month of working with me, if you don't like my work output, I won't take your money.
I like to keep things simple, sticking to vanilla Rails whenever possible so the app stays easy to understand and easy to work with. No fancy stuff unless it's really needed. Just clean, dependable Ruby code that does what it’s supposed to do.
I’ve worked with early-stage startups, growing teams, enterprise companies, and other larger Rails agencies taking over legacy Rails projects. If you need someone who can jump into your Rails codebase, figure things out quickly, and start contributing without a long ramp-up, that's where I can help.
I also write a technical blog called Write Software, Well, which is read by more than 20,000 Ruby and Rails developers around the world each month. The blog has played a huge role in shaping my career and connecting me with other developers globally. That reach is also a big asset when it comes to hiring Rails devs, especially for senior or remote roles — which brings me to my next service: I can help you hire Ruby on Rails developers
