Rails consulting and contract work

Have a Rails application that needs a capable owner?

I build Rails features and improve existing applications. I bring extensive Hotwire experience with Turbo and Stimulus to interactive Rails interfaces.

Tell me what needs to work better.

Focused engagements

How I can help

Ship a Rails feature

Build the feature you need. Test it and prepare it for release.

Improve an existing Rails application

Fix slow or unreliable parts of your application.

Build operational workflows

Build tools that help your team get its work done.

From requirements to release

How an engagement works

  1. Understand the workflow. Understand who uses the feature and what needs to improve.
  2. Define a small, safe scope. Agree on the outcome and scope. Plan how to revert the change if needed.
  3. Build and verify. Build within the existing application. Test the behavior users depend on.
  4. Hand off clearly. Document the change and the verification results.
