Available to hire
Seasoned full-stack developer specializing in Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and React. Equally comfortable as an individual contributor or leading small engineering teams (up to 10 developers). I can handle the full development lifecycle—from gathering requirements and architecture to implementation, DevOps, and production monitoring.
I switched to programming exclusively with AI coding agents—a significantly more productive approach to software development.
