Message

At Corefact, I owned AI Assistant, a Rails 8.1 product using OpenAI API, Twilio, Solid Queue, Stripe, and external voice providers. I also worked on deployments, monitoring, and AI-powered features delivered in Mithril.js and Astro.

I maintained Corefact’s high-traffic Rails 2.3 monolith, addressing technical debt while preserving stability and backward compatibility. I introduced Docker-based development and deployment workflows and mentored distributed developers through code reviews, onboarding, and technical roadmaps.

Earlier, I built and scaled Flowics, a high-concurrency platform for live broadcast graphics and real-time audience engagement, with Rails 3, Backbone.js, and Bootstrap. At Design Pickle, I contributed Rails 5.2 product features and Stripe subscription billing flows.
