I build production Rails systems, from architecture to HIPAA-compliant SaaS at scale.
What I'm looking for
At Staunch, I lead backend development across five production applications, from architecture and client onboarding through AWS deployment and maintenance. I delivered a HIPAA-compliant healthcare SaaS generating $3M+ monthly revenue with 20,000+ active users.
I build Rails systems end to end, including AWS infrastructure, CI/CD, microservices, integrations, and secure high-availability operations. I cut a Manager Module query from 12 seconds to 2 seconds through indexing, query restructuring, eager loading, and Redis caching.
Previously at Devsinc, I migrated a courier delivery platform from a monolith to microservices, introduced GraphQL and JWT authorization, and led Sapling's AngularJS-to-ReactJS frontend revamp. I also strengthen engineering teams through code reviews, testing standards, QA checklists, and AI-assisted delivery with Claude and Cursor.
