I will fix bugs and rescue your ruby on rails web application


About this gig
I help SaaS founders and small teams fix, modernize, and ship Ruby on Rails applications.
I am not a junior Rails developer. I work end-to-end on Rails plus DevOps: AWS (ECS, RDS, S3), Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, SSO/SAML, OAuth, Stripe, and Rails 8. I have shipped production Rails apps integrated with React and Next.js frontends.
What I focus on: Rails bug fixes and root-cause analysis, Rails app rescue when the original developer is gone, deployment to AWS / Render / Fly.io with CI/CD, Rails version upgrades (5/6/7 to 7/8), SSO / SAML / OAuth login integration, Stripe and subscription billing, Sidekiq background jobs, monitoring, and logging.
Good fit if you inherited a Rails app and need help shipping it, you have a Rails codebase that needs to go live but no DevOps in-house, or you want a senior Rails engineer for a clear, scoped task.
After the first project, many clients move to a monthly maintenance retainer (bug fixes, upgrades, small features). Happy to discuss once we have shipped your first task.
Message me first with your repo, stack, and the problem. I will tell you honestly if I am the right fit.

FAQ
Which Rails versions do you support?
Rails 5, 6, 7, and 8. I have done multiple version upgrades, including 5/6 to 7 and 7 to 8. If you are unsure of your current version, send me your Gemfile and I will check.
Where can you deploy my Rails app?
AWS (ECS, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2), Render, Fly.io, and Heroku. I set up CI/CD, environment variables, database, and SSL. For AWS I can also use Terraform if you want infrastructure as code.
What do you need from me to start?
Access to the repo (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket), a short description of the problem, any error messages or screenshots, and the deployment target if relevant. For SSO or Stripe work, also the docs of the provider you want to integrate.
Do you offer monthly maintenance after the project?
Yes. After we ship the first task, many clients move to a monthly retainer covering bug fixes, minor features, dependency upgrades, and on-call support. We can scope this once you have seen how I work. Message me to discuss pricing.
What is out of scope for these packages?
Full new SaaS builds from scratch, UI/UX design, copywriting, and projects requiring access to production payment data or customer PII without a contract. For these, please message me first and we can scope a custom offer.
What happens if the bug is harder than expected?
I will tell you within 24 hours of inspecting the code. If the work is larger than the package, I will give you a clear quote for the extra scope and you decide. I do not silently increase delivery time or do invisible work.
