I'm the person you call when something breaks in ways nobody else can read, or when you need infrastructure where neither the stack nor its workloads phone home.

Currently building: a lean, local PII anonymization pipeline; three-stage architecture, on-prem, no hosted AI, designed to replace the kind of Presidio-based solution that OOM-crashes AWS instances. Bleed handling between stages in progress. Before that: Backend dev / Infrastructure architect building an AI assistant for the financial advisors industry. Before that, as an infrastructure lead at a blockchain company, built algoexplorer.io and MyAlgo Wallet infra from scratch. Current focus: on-prem AI inference for organizations where the data can't leave the building; healthcare, legal, finance, government.

24 years of production Linux. I don't babysit pipelines; I fix what others can't see.

I’m a mid-level developer in dire financial straits right now and need to raise about $750 within the next week as a bridge. I’d be willing to dedicate a solid number of hours for the week (40+ if needed) to any programming work in return.

I can jump on bug fixes, small features, backend work, frontend components, or whatever comes up. I’m happy to start with low-stakes tasks and/or open-source side projects.

Email in profile.

Remote: Yes — worldwide remote only

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Sidekiq, GraphQL, Hotwire/Turbo, RSpec, Docker, Kamal

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ahmad-hamza-0b812052

Email: ahmadhamza19@gmail.com

Senior Ruby on Rails developer, 10+ years. Most recent work via Toptal:

- Fullscript: built an unauthenticated storefront (catalog, guest checkout, org branding) and an enterprise catalog-restrictions policy engine — GraphQL mutations, caching, search integration.

- Desertcart: refactored a legacy Google Merchant Center disapproval system spanning ~300 accounts (150K–15M products each). Cut CPU 70%+ and reduced runtime from days to hours; added New Relic dashboards + Slack alerting to prevent account suspensions.

- Toptal Core Team (3 years): scalable architecture for an internal engineering-insights platform serving 600+ engineers across GitHub/Jira; convention-driven design + a custom Rails generator so new metrics ship fast. Also rebuilt parts of screening ops on a high-volume platform.

- Earlier: online casino platform (30+ payment gateways, anti-addiction compliance for 1M+ players) and team lead at Cybage.

OSS: small contributions to Devise, CanCanCan, and Kamal.

Side project: JustInvoicIt (Rails 8 + Hotwire) for freelancer invoicing. Currently experimenting with an MCP server using OAuth.

Looking for: Senior/Staff Backend or Full-Stack Rails roles. Comfortable owning architecture, mentoring, and shipping end-to-end.
