Senior Backend & Systems Engineer | Rails, Go, React | Author of RailsRevelry

About

I am a senior backend and systems engineer with 15+ years of experience building, modernizing, and scaling product platforms. I work best on important production systems that need to keep evolving while staying reliable. My strength is understanding where complexity is slowing delivery down, then improving the architecture, tests, upgrade path, and release workflow so teams can ship with more confidence. Recent work has focused on: • Modernizing Rails applications without disrupting ongoing delivery • Resolving dependency, migration, and environment constraints • Stabilizing test suites, CI pipelines, and release workflows • Improving system boundaries to reduce delivery bottlenecks • Making mature systems easier to understand, change, and scale I am looking for a long-term Senior Individual Contributor role at an established product company or global remote-first firm, where I can take end-to-end ownership of a critical domain and help it scale with strong engineering fundamentals. I also write RailsRevelry (https://railsrevelry.substack.com/), a technical publication on Rails internals for advanced engineers.
