Rails Consultant & AI Code Refactoring Expert - Pittsburgh
Independent Rails expert - Agency-quality work without agency overhead
Deep Rails & JavaScript Expertise
I specialize in Ruby on Rails, Hotwire/Turbo, Stimulus, React, and modern JavaScript frameworks.
With over a decade building production Rails applications and complex JavaScript frontends.
From Rails API backends to React SPAs, Hotwire-powered real-time features to vanilla JavaScript - I've built it all.
Struggling with AI-Generated Code?
AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude generate code fast, but often create:
- Rails anti-patterns - N+1 queries, missing validations, insecure params
- Broken JavaScript - Race conditions, memory leaks, promise hell
- "It worked once" code that breaks with real data
- Security vulnerabilities - SQL injection, XSS, exposed credentials
- Unmaintainable spaghetti - No tests, poor structure, zero documentation
I refactor AI-generated code into production-ready, maintainable solutions while teaching you what went wrong and how to work with AI tools effectively.
Working Directly with Stakeholders & Marketing Teams
I collaborate directly with non-technical stakeholders, product owners, and marketing teams to get projects launched successfully.
Not sure if you need a rewrite? Start with a code audit to understand the true state of your codebase and get actionable recommendations.
