Web apps your customers will actually love

I design, build, and launch SaaS products and business web apps with Ruby on Rails and Next.js — live in weeks, not months. Then I stick around to keep them running. You work directly with the person who writes the code.

About

Hi, I'm Iliya — your software engineer

ILIYA OBLAKOV
ILIYA OBLAKOVSofia, BG

Full-Stack Ruby on Rails Developer

I’m a Ruby on Rails Developer with 4 years of professional experience building web applications that are designed to scale—technically and operationally. I enjoy working on products where code quality, architecture, and performance matter, and where there’s a clear need for reliable delivery and long-term maintainability. My core strength is backend development with Ruby on Rails , including building well-structured domain logic, integrating third-party services, improving performance, and supporting new product features end-to-end. I’m equally comfortable collaborating with product and design teams to translate requirements into clean, stable implementations. On the frontend, I work with Rails-native approaches using Stimulus (Hotwire) , and I also have experience building and integrating dynamic UI features using React and jQuery . For styling and responsive layouts, I use HTML/CSS alongside Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS to deliver consistent, production-ready interfaces. I’m proficient with Docker and Docker Compose , using containerization to keep development and deployments reliable and repeatable. I also have a foundational understanding of the AWS console and how cloud services fit into real-world Rails delivery workflows. Alongside development, I apply SEO best practices , focusing on technical foundations that support visibility, performance, and clean site structure.

How it works

A process with no surprises

You know the price before we start, and you watch the product grow every week.

1

Scope

One call. We define what "done" means, then you get a fixed scope and a fixed quote.

2

Build

Weekly demos on a live staging link. You steer while changing course is still cheap.

3

Launch

Production deploy with real tests, monitoring, and backups. Launch day is a checklist, not a gamble.
