Founder-led Rails scaling for serious SaaS teams
I work with SaaS founders to fix performance bottlenecks, stabilise production systems, and reduce infrastructure cost.

Common Challenges
Most production issues don't appear on day one. They show up when usage increases, infrastructure grows, and the engineering team starts spending more time firefighting than building.
Pages become slower, APIs take longer to respond, and customer experience starts degrading during peak usage.
Infrastructure spend grows every month, but it's unclear which workloads are driving the cost.
Every release creates uncertainty because the system has become harder to understand and maintain.
Engineers spend more time fixing incidents, handling support issues, and managing technical debt than building new features.
How I Help
The goal isn't simply to add more infrastructure or rewrite everything. It's to identify the bottlenecks that matter, remove unnecessary complexity, and help systems scale more predictably.
Identify bottlenecks, optimise Rails applications, improve database performance, and build systems that continue performing as usage grows.
Improve deployment confidence, increase system stability, and create operational processes that reduce surprises.
Reduce unnecessary cloud spend without sacrificing performance, reliability, or future growth.
Case Studies
Infrastructure complexity and duplicated deployments increased operational overhead.
Infrastructure spend was rising faster than revenue as traffic increased.
Slow endpoints and job backlogs were hurting customer experience during peak hours.
Founder
I bring 13+ years of experience working on production systems, helping SaaS teams improve performance, reduce operational risk, and make infrastructure decisions with a CTO-level lens.
I’ve also worked on integrating tools like chatbots within Microsoft Teams to automate internal workflows and reduce manual effort.
