Dan B. Web, Backend and Modern Frameworks

My name is Dan B. and I have over 3 years of experience in the tech industry. I specialize in the following technologies: Python, Web Development, Web Application, Ruby on Rails, Ruby, etc.. I hold a degree in Master of Science (MS), Bachelor's degree, Master of Science (MS). Some of the notable projects I’ve worked on include: Education Company website + blog (Ruby on Rails), Simple Ruby on Rails website for a daycare, Wend (hybrid Rails + mobile (iOS) platform). I am based in Chicago, United States. I've successfully completed 3 projects while developing at Softaims.

I employ a methodical and structured approach to solution development, prioritizing deep domain understanding before execution. I excel at systems analysis, creating precise technical specifications, and ensuring that the final solution perfectly maps to the complex business logic it is meant to serve.

My tenure at Softaims has reinforced the importance of careful planning and risk mitigation. I am skilled at breaking down massive, ambiguous problems into manageable, iterative development tasks, ensuring consistent progress and predictable delivery schedules.

I strive for clarity and simplicity in both my technical outputs and my communication. I believe that the most powerful solutions are often the simplest ones, and I am committed to finding those elegant answers for our clients.

Experience Highlights

Education Company website + blog (Ruby on Rails)

Occam Education overhauled their website + blog to emphasize their new client-facing mobile application. I built the entire responsive site in Ruby on Rails.

Simple Ruby on Rails website for a daycare

Montessori Magpie needed an updated website. Voilà.

Wend (hybrid Rails + mobile (iOS) platform)

MY ROLE Product owner (coordinated native developers, designers); lead Rails developer THE JOB We took our legacy Rails monolith from Occam Education (which pulled in React via react_rails) and repackaged some of its functionality, which was then augmented with new features, to create Wend, a hybrid (web + native in React; then web + native in Swift) then fully native (Swift only) app. The Rails app is now the CMS + API. NOTES I’ve overseen (and written most of) the Rails updates and features since Rails 4. Over the last 6 months I’ve written a bit of Swift alongside our dedicated mobile developer. The project is deployed on Heroku (and has been for years). Things we currently use: Redis, Sidekiq, Rails 7, Hotwire (Stimulus, Turbo Streams & Drive), CanCanCan, Trix, ViewComponent (GitHub), Skylight Things we used to use: turbo-ios, react_rails, NewRelic We use rspec for testing, and most of our approach to testing is pretty pragmatic: request specs for APIs, integration tests for important paths, model specs because they’re cheap and easy, and service specs for complex business domain logic. We have always run CI/CD (we use SemaphoreCI + Heroku), and we’ve run different configurations of staging environments (e.g. an instance for mobile dev; a staging instance on standby in case we needed to hotfix something in development).
