Sam has done amazing Rails work for me the past 2+ weeks. So much so I told him he should up his rates 😅 If you need some freelance work don’t with little to no handholding, don’t hesitate to reach out to him. (Just don’t take all his hours cause I need it 😭)

Frequently asked questions

Who is behind this?

My name is Sam Johnson, I have had the pleasure of working as a software engineer at some amazing companies such as Atlassian, Cisco Systems, Statuspage, and Trello. Now I focus on Ruby on Rails consulting and creating educational material. You can find my content on:

How does it work?

Every startup is different, and every team has different needs. I work by first getting to know your needs and then building a custom plan to help you achieve your goals. This can mean PR review, hiring decisions, process review, architecture review, performance problems, etc. I build a plan to help you and your team deliver more.

Are you available now?

At the moment my time is limited. I'm engaging with two clients on a monthly basis, and a handful of others on an ad-hoc plan. If you would like a specific service, check if your task falls into one of the buckets on my services page, consulting services. If not, I do consultation calls at $100 for 30 minutes.
