I help technical founders and small teams ship fast without accumulating technical debt. WHAT I DO: You're moving fast - building with Rails, React, Next.js, or AI tools like Lovable and Cursor. I make sure it doesn't explode when it hits real users. Think of me as your fractional technical partner who: - Adds test coverage so you can refactor with confidence - Sets up CI/CD so deploys aren't scary - Reviews architecture so you don't paint yourself into corners - Brings 15+ years of production experience to your rapid prototypes MY SPECIALTY: Making Speed Sustainable - Test-driven development (TDD) for both traditional and AI-generated code - CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions → Heroku/Netlify/Vercel) - Multi-agent spec-driven development for rapid, safe iteration - Backend architecture (Rails, Node.js, Supabase) - Workflow automation (n8n, Zapier, custom APIs) WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT Most developers either move fast OR write tests. I do both. Using spec-driven development, I can turn vague requirements into comprehensive test coverage, then ship features that won't break next week. I'm an XP/Lean programming advocate who's adapted TDD practices for the AI coding era. CURRENT CLIENT: "I just wanted to share I used VSCode with Claude to update my db table with a new field and add type-specific logic. I'm pumped about it. It's a tiny step, but feels like a giant leap." - Founder I'm helping productionize vibe-coded features IDEAL PROJECTS: - Fractional CTO / technical partner retainers ($4-9k/month, 10-20 hrs/week) - Production deployment for fast-moving prototypes ($5-15k) - Adding test coverage & CI/CD to existing apps ($3-8k) - Architecture review & technical mentorship NOT A FIT: - Long-term staff augmentation - Generic feature work without production rigor - Projects that don't value testing TECHNOLOGIES: Ruby on Rails • React • Next.js • Node.js • TypeScript • PostgreSQL • Supabase • n8n • Jest • RSpec • GitHub Actions • Heroku • Vercel Learn more: reificationlabs.dev Rate: $125/hr for projects | $115/hr for retainers (10+ hrs/week)
