What I'm looking for

I seek backend-focused roles where I can lead engineering efforts, build scalable Rails systems, integrate APIs, mentor teams, and contribute to product strategy in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a Senior Ruby on Rails developer with over 9 years of experience building scalable backend systems across e-commerce, HR tech, mortgage and legal domains. I specialize in architecting Rails-based solutions, integrating complex third-party APIs, and improving product performance and reliability.

In recent roles I partnered with startups and established companies to deliver high-impact features—leading API development, implementing AI-powered scheduling, and integrating communication and verification services like Twilio, Vonage, Exotel and Onfido. My work has driven measurable outcomes such as reduced recruiter workload, faster screening, lower spam reports, and higher customer satisfaction.

I have led and mentored development teams as a Team Lead and Module Lead, introduced process improvements, leveraged microservices and search optimizations, and improved release velocity through documentation, testing and focused refactoring. I prioritize clean code, performance optimization and reliable CI/CD pipelines.

I hold a Master’s in Computer Application and product-focused certifications, and I enjoy combining product thinking with hands-on engineering to deliver user-centered, maintainable systems that align with business goals.
