Whether your Rails system is slowing down, becoming difficult to change, or approaching an important growth stage,
I help teams stabilize their foundations and deliver with confidence.
If you need architectural clarity, system rescue, or technical leadership, I’m here to support you.
What I Can Help With
Rails Architecture & System Stabilization
- Infrastructure modernization (Docker, CI/CD, observability)
- Memory reduction, performance tuning, and bottleneck elimination
- Concurrency fixes, transactional integrity, and race-condition resolution
- Scalable background job pipelines and async architecture
- Database optimization and query performance
Fractional CTO Support
- Architecture audits using 4+1 system modeling
- Technical strategy for 0–1 and 1–N product stages
- Codebase modernization and domain alignment
- Developer workflow improvements and DX optimization
- Documentation, onboarding, and internal knowledge systems
Legacy & High-Stakes Systems
- Rescue of fragile or outdated Rails applications
- Removing scaling, encoding, and deployment failures
- Stabilizing codebases with inconsistent tests or unpredictable behavior
- Preparing for audits, investor scrutiny, or rapid growth
Ideal Project Types
Perfect Fit
- Complex Rails problems requiring deep architectural insight
- Systems with reliability concerns or unknown failure modes
- Projects where correctness, stability, and performance matter
- Companies needing senior leadership without hiring a full-time CTO
- Systems approaching scale, regulatory pressure, or mission-critical use
Let’s Discuss
- Large greenfield products needing long-term architectural guidance
- High-urgency deadlines where stability must be restored quickly
- Multi-team technical alignment or platform refactoring
Not a Fit
- Simple websites or brochure-style projects
- No-architecture “just code this fast” environments
- WordPress, Wix, or non-Rails CMS work
