Helping companies keep critical Rails systems
reliable, scalable and maintainable.
Senior Ruby on Rails developer and GIS/automation specialist, available fractionally or as a freelancer — experienced, independent help without agency overhead.
Specialising in the harder end of Rails work: legacy upgrades, long-running system stability, deployment and ops, and the operational problems that don't have obvious answers. A particular niche in geospatial systems: map platforms, planning and property portals, FME/Rails APIs, CAD/web integrations and geospatial automation.

Typical clients who hire me
Things I do for clients
Building from scratch, or adding features to existing sites.
Rails versions are released on a regular schedule, and upgrading is essential for security, functionality and maintainability.
Software is never "done" — libraries and languages get updated, operating systems get patched, servers become outdated.
Working in collaboration with your company to figure out how to deliver value.
Working to minimise downtime, outages, test failures.
Success is great, but will the site stay up if you double your users? Triple? ×100?
You should be the first to know if there are problems.
Reliability, maintainability, rapid development are all based on rigorous testing.
