What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build multi-tenant SaaS backends with strong API design, observability, and test-driven development. I want a team where I can own features end to end, mentor engineers, and translate complex requirements into intuitive user experiences.

I’m a Senior Ruby on Rails engineer specializing in multi-tenant SaaS architecture, GraphQL and REST API design, and high-scale backend systems. I focus on clean, maintainable code and test-driven development, and I enjoy owning features end to end—from technical decisions to delivery.

In my current role, I’ve led technical architecture for authentication, authorization, and billing in multi-tenant environments. I designed and shipped developer-facing APIs and integrations, built observability and monitoring with Datadog and Grafana, and established CI/CD and parallel-testing infrastructure to improve deployment reliability and developer productivity.

Previously, I built and optimized GraphQL APIs for a healthcare SaaS platform, resolving performance issues like N+1 queries and shipping version-safe schema changes. I’ve also integrated third-party services, implemented billing and subscription workflows, and added Sidekiq background jobs to reduce latency—while mentoring engineers on API design, testing strategy, and product thinking.
