Full-stack Ruby on Rails developer building scalable APIs and React experiences for thousands of users.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full Stack Ruby on Rails Developer with over 3.8+ years of experience building and deploying dynamic, scalable web applications. I enjoy owning both backend and frontend, with a strong focus on RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and seamless user experiences.
At BestPeers InfoSystems, I design and build customer-facing products using Ruby on Rails and React.js, serving thousands of users per month. I architected and migrated monolithic Rails apps to microservices (authentication, billing, notifications), improving deploy velocity and reducing outage blast radius, while strengthening reliability through CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) and test-driven practices.
I implement robust RESTful and GraphQL APIs consumed by React frontends and mobile clients, including versioning and backward-compatible changes. I also handle asynchronous workflows with Sidekiq, optimize performance using Redis caching and query optimization, and keep delivery safe with feature flags (LaunchDarkly/custom) for gradual rollouts and A/B tests.
Previously at Throughout Technology Pvt. Ltd, I oversaw end-to-end lifecycles—planning, development, testing, and deployment—while focusing on scalability, user experience, and fixing performance bottlenecks. In my recent work across products like Aquifer, Uphance, SweetPay, and OrdwayLabs, I’ve delivered maintainable Rails/React features, integrated third-party services (including Stripe), and built strong automated test coverage to ensure dependable releases.
