Build With Confidence
I help startups and product teams launch high-quality Rails projects quickly — without cutting corners. All services are fixed-scope, clearly priced, and delivered production-ready. Everything is designed to reduce risk and move fast — without sacrificing long-term maintainability.
⚠️ Limited availability: I typically take on 1–2 projects per month to ensure quality and focus.

Strategy Sprint
Clarity before code — a focused technical discovery to scope the right thing, the first time.
In just one week, we’ll clarify what to build, how to build it, and what to leave out. Ideal if you’re early-stage or uncertain about scope. Reduces risk and sets up future development for success.
Deliverables:
- Tech scope & architecture plan
- Feature breakdown + tradeoffs
- Flow diagrams or mock wireframes
- Stack & deployment recommendations
Use this as a blueprint for your own dev team — or apply $1,000 toward one of the build packages within 30 days.
Price: $2,500
Timeline: 1 week

How I Work
Each project comes with a lightweight setup to keep things smooth and efficient:
- Notion Project Hub — A shared board for tracking progress, sharing updates, and async communication.
- Staging App (optional) — Live environment for testing and handoff.
- GitHub Delivery — Clean, documented, and production-ready repo.
- Clear Handoff — Deployment guide and optional onboarding call included.
No open-ended back-and-forth. Just scoped, maintainable builds that ship.
FAQ
How does payment work?
All projects are fixed-price and paid 50% up front, 50% on delivery. Stripe or bank transfer available.
What if I need something outside the scope?
Additional features or changes can be quoted separately. I’ll always flag scope creep before it becomes a problem.
Do you work with legacy Rails apps?
No — I focus on greenfield projects or clearly scoped backends. I don’t work inside legacy codebases.
Do you build React/SPA frontends?
No. I use Rails with Hotwire, Turbo, and Tailwind to build fast, maintainable UIs without complex frontend stacks.
Can you help after the project is done?
Yes — I offer an optional maintenance plan for minor fixes and tweaks. Major changes can be scoped separately.
Is it just you, or do you have a team?
I lead every project personally. Sometimes I bring in trusted developers to support delivery — but I always own the outcome.
