Location: I'm based in Berlin, Germany (it currently corresponds to CEST timezone)

Other Timezones I can work in: I can sustainably overlap 4-5 hrs with Eastern/Pacific time or similarly with other timezones

How I intend to be of service as a (Freelance) Senior/Staff Backend engineer/consultant:

• From building MVPs to working on large-scale Ruby on Rails apps, as a software engineer:

  • I have experience with

    • Using Packwerk, Sorbet, Rails engines, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Redis etc.,
    • Improving performance and observability of Rails apps(using Datadog, Redash, New Relic etc.,)
    • Debugging, maintaining, refactoring & enhancing Rails apps
    • Leading projects

  • I care about(in addition to what's previously mentioned above)

    • Being product minded
    • Collaborating with different stakeholders(including end users) to better serve everyone

• Many people have told me communication is one of my strengths & I’d be happy to put that to good use

• There is a saying failure can teach you a lot more than success. Having worked in International teams for almost 7 years has taught me(some the hard way) a lot about what key ingredients make great teams. I’d be happy to leverage this experience if & when needed.

• Sharing my two cents when needed through pairing, coaching(to enable others to think for themselves & eventually be more independent), mentoring(I have been doing probono coaching & mentorship here for a while now), or even just being a sounding board.

• Having other ideas in mind? I look forward to discussing other collaboration opportunities together :)

If you are or you know someone who is looking for a human-centered programmer with some or all of the above mentioned experience/skills and if you think I could be a good fit for such opportunities, I'd sincerely appreciate your reaching out to me(via: mail4mohnishj@gmail.com) or spreading the word, thank you :)

P.S:

1. I'm open to discuss contract to full time hire roles too, however there's a current need(happy to discuss the reasons transparently over a call) for me to start work as a contractor/freelancer.

2. I have intentionally removed my contact number from my public résumé above. Happy to share it via email if needed.
