Senior Ruby Engineer with more than twelve years of profound knowledge in building web applications based on Ruby on Rails at scale (10M users, 20M daily requests). Strong focus on performance optimization (algorithms, SQL optimization, scaling), site reliability (monitoring, debugging, bug fixing) and maintenance/refactoring of huge, legacy Rails applications (major Rails updates, extracting services).
Looking for a Tech Lead role in a team of about 8-16 developers or a CTO position in a startup in an early stage. I like to work autonomously and pro-actively on hard and difficult tasks. I mentor juniors and train my teammates to make good architecture and design decisions. A co-worker once called my a wizard: A deep thinker who doesn't need guidance with magical results. I prefer to not being micro-managed nor to be put on the critical path. But to have the freedom and trust to choose what next steps to take to make your applications better for your customers and the development environment more appealing to the team.
