Hello! I have been working with Ruby on Rails for more than 15 years already. Across various industries, built several green field applications from scratch, but also worked with huge and old legacy applications with millions of active users.
And I have been in leading positions of different flavors in the past 10 years as delivery, project, tech, or team lead. Often being the CTO's right hand, working autonomously across teams and taking full ownership of web application development and operations.
Looking for a very senior IC position in a company utilizing a Ruby tech stack (currently I am a Principal Engineer). Happy to take over leadership, product and management responsibilities, for example as fractional CTO.
Senior Ruby Engineer with more than fourteen years of profound knowledge in building web applications based on Ruby on Rails at scale (>10M users, >20M daily requests). Strong focus on performance optimization (algorithms, SQL optimization, scaling), site reliability (monitoring, debugging, bug fixing) and maintenance/refactoring of huge, legacy Rails applications (major Rails updates, extracting services).
Looking for a Tech Lead role in a team of about 6-18 developers or a VP Engineering/CTO position in a startup in an early stage. I like to work autonomously and pro-actively on hard and difficult tasks. I mentor juniors and train my teammates to make good architecture and design decisions. A co-worker once called my a wizard: A deep thinker who doesn't need guidance with magical results. I prefer to not being micro-managed nor to be put on the critical path. But to have the freedom and trust to choose what next steps to take to make your applications better for your customers and the development environment more appealing to the team.
