Fix. Upgrade. Deploy. Ruby on Rails help for founders and startups.
Rails app broken? Stuck on an old version? Deploy keeps failing? You don't need a full-time engineer — you need someone who has shipped Rails for a decade and can land the fix this week.
What I do
Specialised help, not generic consulting.
Pick the lane you're stuck in. Each engagement is scoped, time-boxed, and shipped to your production branch.
Bug fixes
That weird production error you've been ignoring. NoMethodError on Friday afternoon. Memory leak in Sidekiq.
Version upgrades
Rails 5 to 7. Ruby 2.7 to 3.3. Replace deprecated gems. Tame the deprecation warnings.
Deployment
Heroku migration. Docker on Render/Fly. Kamal to a VPS. Zero-downtime deploys.
SAML & SSO
Okta, Google Workspace, custom IdPs. The auth thing your enterprise customer is asking for.
Stripe billing
Subscriptions, usage-based billing, webhooks, dunning. The integration nobody on the team wants to own.
AWS & infra
RDS, S3, ECS, CloudFront. Cut your bill. Set up backups before the disaster, not after.
Pricing
Clear scope, clear price.
No retainers you'll forget you're paying. No SOWs that take a week to sign.
Health Check
A written report on your app, deployment, errors, security, and upgrade risk. Delivered in 3 business days.
Rescue Fix
Most popularFixed-scope engagement for a specific bug, deploy issue, or production fire. Code shipped to your branch.
Monthly Care
Ongoing support — small features, dependency updates, monitoring, on-call for issues. Cancel any time.
