What I'm looking for

I want a hands-on engineering role where I can architect scalable Rails-based systems, mentor engineers, improve test coverage, and build integrations in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a senior software engineer and architect with deep Ruby on Rails experience, strong test-driven development discipline, and a track record of delivering products used by major global organizations. I have led engineering teams, performed multi-level PR reviews, and mentored developers while building scalable backend systems.

My work spans product architecture and feature delivery for SaaS platforms, integrations, and mobile/web clients; I contributed open-source RubyGems and integrations (e.g., TrackUnit) and was part of architecture committees for high-profile products. I have academic credentials with an M.Phil (CS) and multiple technical certifications.

I seek to bring pragmatic engineering leadership, robust testing practices, and hands-on development skills to teams building high-quality, scalable web products.
