The reverse job board for Rails developers

My journey into software engineering began in an unexpected place: the forests of Washington state, where I was studying landscape visualization and GIS systems for my Master's in Forest Engineering. Working with complex spatial data and modeling systems taught me to think systematically about how information flows through interconnected networks—skills that would prove invaluable when I transitioned into web development. What sets me apart is my unique combination of technical depth and leadership experience. Over 15+ years, I've evolved from a hands-on engineer to someone who can architect scalable systems while building and mentoring the teams that build them. At Talogy, I've spent the last decade leading the re-engineering of our entire client portal and assessment platform using Ruby on Rails, transforming a legacy system into a modern, maintainable codebase that serves thousands of users daily. I'm passionate about the intersection of technical excellence and human collaboration. As both an engineer and manager, I've learned that the best software comes from teams where people feel empowered to do their best work. Whether I'm conducting code reviews, architecting integrations with major platforms like Workday and Greenhouse, or mentoring junior developers, I approach every challenge with the same principle: solve real problems for real people. My technical toolkit spans Ruby on Rails, SQL, React, and various AWS services, but what really drives me is the opportunity to work on systems that matter. Currently, I'm drawn to opportunities where I can contribute both my technical expertise and leadership experience to mission-driven organizations. There's something deeply satisfying about building software that enables others to succeed.

I’m a web developer with a strong foundation in Ruby on Rails and full-stack application development, with hands-on experience building RESTful APIs, designing relational databases, and crafting end-to-end user experiences. I completed an intensive, 6-month Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp at Avion School in May 2025, where I built several projects using modern tools and workflows, including: • Blyss – Ebook Reader App with user authentication, bookmarking, note-taking, and dictionary integration (Ruby on Rails + PostgreSQL + Stimulus + Gutendex API + Free Dictionary API) • Password Vault & Generator – secure password manager with React frontend and Rails backend API • Stock Trading Simulator – powered by Alpha Vantage API (Rails + PostgreSQL) 💡 Core Strengths • Backend and full-stack development with Ruby on Rails and React • REST API design and backend architecture • PostgreSQL and database modeling • Test-driven development (RSpec) • GitHub collaboration & version control • Deployment experience (Render) • Agile-inspired workflows (user stories, stand-ups, iterative development) 💻 Frontend & Full-Stack Flexibility While I specialize in backend development, I’ve also built production-level features using React, Tailwind CSS, and Stimulus, and I’m confident contributing to both backend and frontend codebases when needed. 🔎 Currently seeking remote-friendly roles as a: • Junior Backend Developer • Junior to Mid-Level Full-Stack Developer • Junior Frontend Developer (open to React-focused roles as well) I’m especially open to teams who are collaborative, mentorship-friendly, and value growth. 🧠 Upskilling in: AWS, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Agile (Scrum/Kanban), Cloud Infrastructure 🤝 Soft Skills Career shifter with a background in fast-paced environments. I bring strong self-discipline, remote collaboration skills, and a continuous learning mindset. I thrive in teams that value mentorship, ownership, and knowledge-sharing. Let’s connect!

My career has been a pretty colorful journey. I've worked on ETL, workflow automation and databases. I've worked on NetSuite / SuiteScript customisations as a client facing technical consultant. I've worked full-stack on C# / .NET web applications. And most recently in the past 3 years, I've worked on Ruby on Rails as a full-stack engineer. My work with RoR has taken me through frontend stuff like Turbo, Stimulus and TailwindCSS. Backend stuff, like API integrations, AlgoliaSearch, Pagy, <insert generic retrieve stuff from the DB task here> and setting up sidekiq jobs. I enjoy working with close-knit teams. Pair programming and mobbing were (and hopefully will be) nearly daily tasks for me.

Over 10 years of experience going from 0 to scale as an Engineering and Product Leader 6× Founding Engineer of multiple successful companies, including a telehealth unicorn Ruby on Rails enthusiast, building real tangible value since v3

I'm Dallas Hart, a Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, secure, and AI-integrated applications across fintech, healthcare, and e-commerce. My career has been driven by a passion for solving real-world problems through clean architecture, intelligent automation, and collaborative product development. My journey began with a love for building things that make people's lives easier — starting from early scripting projects to leading cloud-native application rollouts used by thousands. I’ve architected HIPAA-compliant health portals, PCI-secure payment platforms, and AI-powered fraud detection engines — all while optimizing for performance, reliability, and user experience. Whether I’m modernizing legacy systems or deploying microservices on AWS Lambda, I keep my focus on delivering measurable business outcomes. One of my proudest achievements was leading the development of a patient portal that reduced admin workload by 30%, while also integrating third-party AI to personalize content and drive engagement. I also designed a fraud detection system that cut chargebacks by 26% — blending ML with real-time Kafka and GraphQL. I bring a rare combination of deep technical expertise, strong product sense, and cross-functional collaboration. I thrive in environments where I can work closely with stakeholders and turn ambiguous business needs into robust systems that scale. If you're looking for someone who can own the full stack, drive AI integration, and push for engineering excellence — I’m your guy.

I’m a senior full-stack developer with over a decade of Ruby on Rails experience, having started with it back in 2012. I was immediately hooked by how quickly I could bring greenfield ideas to life using Rails, and despite experimenting with other stacks—like Go, TypeScript, and even Salesforce—I always find myself returning to Rails for its elegance, productivity, and ecosystem. What makes me unique is a strong focus on code maintainability and developer empathy. I’m deeply influenced by the SOLID principles and aspire to write clear, change-friendly code, taking inspiration from people like Sandi Metz. In recent roles, I’ve often been the person brought in to refactor legacy codebases, introduce design systems, and reduce complexity—turning code that others fear into something a team can iterate on confidently. I’ve worked remotely for companies across the US, Australia, and New Zealand, collaborating across time zones to ship features, reduce tech debt, and keep product momentum strong. I'm passionate about building tools that people enjoy using, and I leverage AI tools to improve my speed and consistency, giving me more bandwidth for creative problem-solving and mentoring.

At Owens Corning via Toptal, I introduced a reusable geolocation service adopted by 9 datasets and built a multilingual translation engine that improved LATAM and Canadian outreach. My contributions consistently reduce costs, enhance UX, and modernize legacy systems with measurable results. Skilled in Ruby on Rails, React, Symfony, Postgres, Docker, Redis, and CI/CD pipelines, I thrive in remote, agile environments, leading teams with a balance of technical depth and collaborative mentorship.
