Anjan Jagirdar

I’m a product-minded Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 9+ years of Ruby on Rails experience. I’ve built and shipped production systems for EdTech, Fintech, and Real Estate, focusing on reliability, maintainability, and measurable outcomes.

I was promoted to Tech Lead at a $1B+ real estate platform (VTS), and I’ve led zero-downtime Rails upgrades from Rails 5 through 7 and improved developer experience along the way. I also contribute to internationalization efforts (English to French Canadian) to support market expansion, and I built automation like an Excel importer tool for client onboarding.

I author and sole maintain an open-source Rails error monitoring gem with 13,000+ downloads, 73 GitHub stars, and 3,000+ RSpec tests. I built it because SaaS monitoring tools hit free-tier limits and miss in-app context—like local variables at crash time, silently rescued exceptions, and runtime state at failure.

I’ve also led engineering execution end-to-end, including Canvas LMS LTI apps using Ruby on Rails and React, and I’ve reduced support ticket backlog by 75% through systematic root-cause analysis and preventive fixes. I’m a strong advocate for AI-assisted development as a productivity multiplier—always verifying, testing, and owning the final code—while working comfortably across distributed teams.
