Rails & PostgreSQL consulting
Focused help for established Rails products that are slow, fragile, difficult to change, or temporarily short of experienced engineering capacity.
01 / Ways to engage
A specific performance incident, a risky legacy area, and a shortage of delivery capacity need different arrangements. Choose the closest starting point.
Investigate and implement high-impact fixes for one or more production issues such as slow requests, expensive PostgreSQL queries, overloaded background jobs, or memory pressure.
Understand and stabilize a problematic area, plan an incremental upgrade, improve coverage around a change, or replace a risky subsystem without assuming a rewrite.
Defined remote contracts involving product delivery, APIs, integrations, PostgreSQL, background processing, architecture, code review, or technical leadership.
02 / Production evidence
Selected work from SaaS products where performance and reliability had practical consequences.
Reduced an SEO product dashboard from more than two seconds to under 200ms.
Worked on page speed, CMS rendering, infrastructure, and integrations for a large SaaS product.
Experience across SaaS, education, compliance, cybersecurity, and infrastructure automation.
03 / Working approach
Mature applications carry business rules, operational constraints, and history. The aim is to improve what matters without creating unnecessary replacement work.
Clarify the symptom, business impact, system context, and evidence already available.
Separate high-impact work from attractive but unnecessary cleanup, and make trade-offs explicit.
Implement the agreed change or leave a practical plan the existing team can execute.
04 / Technical writing
These articles show the level of detail behind performance and legacy-system work before you start a conversation.
Starting well
A useful first message includes the Rails version, what is going wrong, why it matters, any monitoring information already available, and whether you need diagnosis, implementation, or temporary engineering capacity.
