What I'm looking for

I am looking for RoR-focused roles where I can deepen backend and full-stack expertise, work on performant applications, and learn new technologies within collaborative teams.

I am a Ruby on Rails developer with over four years of professional experience building and maintaining monolithic and API-driven applications. I have worked across full-stack responsibilities, focusing on backend RoR development while contributing to frontend implementation with Bootstrap, HTML and CSS.

My recent work included developing features for an internal admin panel and supporting provider-client workflows, then shifting to end-client-facing teams where I concentrated on performance optimization, background jobs, database query tuning and resolving N+1 issues.

I have experience delivering MVPs and enhancements in production, collaborating with teams using Git/GitHub, REST APIs, and deployment on platforms such as Heroku. I also participated in server installation and maintenance, customer support, and knowledge transfer to team members.

I seek to continue developing my RoR expertise, expand my skills across the RoR stack and related components, and remain open to learning new technologies while contributing to high-quality, performant applications.
