Hello, I am a software engineer/CTO who has built a unicorn using Ruby on Rails. Ruby is my favorite programming language because of its ease of expression and readability. I have delivered production systems in C, C++, and Java, but love Ruby best. I have been CTO of 4 companies that use Ruby on Rails to deliver SaaS products used by millions. My original background was in AI (expert systems) and am enjoying the explosion of capabilities that LLMs afford developers. I am a huge user of RubyLLM, especially the tool-calling.
