Backend Development — Ruby, Go & Rust

Overview

I design and build robust backend systems tailored to your needs, leveraging the right language for the job. Whether you need rapid development with Ruby, concurrent services with Go, or zero-cost abstractions with Rust, I deliver production-ready code.

Ruby

Best for: Rapid prototyping, CRUD applications, startups, and teams that value developer happiness.

• Ruby on Rails — Full-stack web applications with convention over configuration
• API development — RESTful and GraphQL APIs with Grape or Rails API
• Background processing — Sidekiq, Resque, and custom job queues
• Testing — RSpec, Minitest, and comprehensive CI pipelines
• Legacy modernization — Refactoring and upgrading existing Rails applications

Go

Best for: High-throughput microservices, cloud-native tools, and concurrent systems.

• Microservices — Lightweight, fast-starting services with Gin, Chi, or net/http
• gRPC & Protocol Buffers — Efficient service-to-service communication
• CLI tools — Cross-platform command-line utilities
• Cloud infrastructure — Kubernetes operators, custom controllers, and cloud SDKs
• Performance — Low-latency, high-concurrency systems with minimal memory footprint

Rust

Best for: Systems programming, performance-critical paths, and safety-first applications.

• Web services — Axum and Actix Web for blazing-fast HTTP servers
• Async runtimes — Tokio-based concurrent systems
• Embedded & edge — Resource-constrained environments and WebAssembly
• Safety-critical code — Memory safety without garbage collection
• FFI & bindings — Integrating Rust performance into existing codebases

How I Work

1. Requirements analysis — Understand the problem domain and constraints
2. Technology selection — Choose the right language and framework for the use case
3. Architecture design — Define service boundaries, data models, and APIs
4. Iterative development — Ship working software early and often
5. Testing & observability — Comprehensive test coverage, logging, metrics, and tracing
6. Documentation & handoff — Clear docs, runbooks, and knowledge transfer
