@everaldogomes
Full-stack Ruby developer and independent applied AI researcher-developer.
What I'm looking for
I am a full-stack software engineer with ~15 years of Ruby experience and a decade building web applications across startups, enterprise teams, and academia. I ship features, fix complex bugs, improve performance, and mentor others, combining strong Rails, modern JavaScript, and scalable-systems expertise.
As an independent AI researcher/developer I focus on applied voice cloning, TTS, and developer tools, building production prototypes and SDKs in Go and Python while maintaining open-source teaching projects like "Ruby in 100 Examples." I communicate clearly, teach effectively, and deliver reliable, maintainable software.
