Keep your existing Rails app stable, maintainable, and moving forward. I help SaaS teams support older Ruby on Rails applications with bug fixes, production debugging, upgrades, code reviews, performance work, and ongoing backend maintenance.
Available for US, UK, Europe, Canada, Singapore, and remote-first teams.
Many production Rails apps still serve customers well, but the codebase becomes difficult to work with over time. Gems get old, tests are missing, background jobs become fragile, deployments feel risky, and small changes start taking longer than they should.
Four areas covered on a typical maintenance engagement. Most teams need a mix — the review decides where to start.
Most maintenance work starts with a short technical review. I look at the Rails and Ruby version, Gemfile, deployment flow, background jobs, caching, logs, recurring errors, and the areas that feel risky to change. After that, I suggest a practical maintenance path — immediate fixes, risk reduction, upgrade preparation, or ongoing fractional support.
Concrete deliverables you can act on — not a slide deck.
Three formats. Pick the one that fits — or start with an audit and decide from there.
A focused review of your Rails app — risks, dependencies, production issues, and recommended next steps. Delivered as a written report with prioritized findings, useful before deciding on a maintenance plan or a longer engagement.
A short project to fix recurring bugs, improve risky workflows, reduce production issues, or prepare the app for upgrade work. Defined scope, written outcome, fixed timeline.
Ongoing part-time senior Rails help for maintenance, bug fixes, code review, production debugging, and steady backlog execution. Predictable monthly capacity for teams that don't need a full-time hire.
Send me a short description of the app, current Rails version, and the maintenance problems you are facing. I'll reply with the most sensible next step.
