Richard Perez

I am a seasoned Ruby on Rails Engineer with 8 years of experience in developing robust and scalable web applications. My expertise lies in designing efficient backend systems, optimizing database performance, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. I am passionate about clean code, security best practices, and delivering high-quality software solutions.

At Softech Consulting, I led the development of a scalable SaaS application that serves thousands of customers. I designed and implemented RESTful APIs, enhancing integration with third-party services, and built a background job processing system using Sidekiq for asynchronous tasks. My efforts in optimizing database queries resulted in a 30% increase in application efficiency without additional hardware costs, while my introduction of CI/CD pipelines reduced deployment time by 50%.

Previously, as a Software Developer at GuideWell Mutual Holding, I focused on performance and scalability, decreasing technical debt by 30% through refactoring legacy code. I integrated payment gateways like Stripe and PayPal, collaborated with front-end developers for responsive design, and led the development of critical modules, significantly improving user engagement and reducing customer complaints.
