Your developer has left
You need someone to understand the existing system, take over responsibly, and keep it moving.
Long-term technical partnership
Your Technical Partner for Ruby on Rails Applications
More than developers who implement tickets. We take ownership of your application's technical challenges, identify risks, recommend solutions, and help you make engineering decisions that serve your business.
A shared roadmap. An accountable technical partner.
Challenges we help solve
Your application needs more than someone who writes code
Whether your Rails application needs a new technical owner or an experienced partner alongside your team, we work with what you already have.
Technical debt is slowing delivery
Every change feels risky, and the backlog keeps growing.
Production problems keep returning
Performance issues, failed jobs, and unreliable deployments demand attention.
Your team needs experienced guidance
You need someone who can evaluate options and help decide what matters most.
What partnership means to us
We think beyond the ticket
Good engineering starts with understanding the problem, not simply following instructions. We combine hands-on Rails expertise with judgment and clear communication.
Ownership
We stay accountable for engineering outcomes, not just completed tickets.
Proactive problem solving
We investigate root causes, explain alternatives, and recommend practical next steps.
Transparent communication
We surface progress, blockers, risks, and trade-offs before they become surprises.
Business-oriented engineering
We prioritize the work that matters to your customers and business, without unnecessary rewrites.
Continuous improvement
We make incremental improvements to reliability, maintainability, performance, and delivery.
A practical working relationship
Built around your product, not a rigid playbook
We can start with an urgent production issue, a focused improvement, or a longer-term engagement. The process adapts to what your application needs.
Step 1
Understand
Learn your product, codebase, business goals, and immediate concerns.
Step 2
Assess
Identify technical risks, constraints, and opportunities for improvement.
Step 3
Prioritize
Agree on what needs attention now and what can wait.
Step 4
Deliver
Fix issues, maintain production, modernize safely, and ship useful features.
Step 5
Improve
Revisit priorities and strengthen the application as your needs evolve.

Fractional CTO support
Technical leadership with hands-on Rails delivery
For founders who need technical direction without a full-time CTO, Andrei Kaleshka leads the relationship: reviewing the existing application, discussing architecture choices, coordinating delivery and contributing hands-on engineering. We agree his involvement, decision responsibilities and availability around your product.
Roadmap and architecture
Turn business goals into a sequenced technical roadmap. Record architecture choices, risks and alternatives so you can decide what to build, maintain or modernize next.
Team coordination
Clarify ownership across your developers, WideFix engineers and outside specialists. Align interfaces, unblock dependencies and review delivery priorities.
Budget and delivery
Compare implementation scope, infrastructure costs and staffing options. Agree spending limits and review progress, while keeping leadership connected to code reviews and hands-on changes.
A typical starting scope is an application assessment, a prioritized roadmap and a recurring decision and delivery review. Ongoing leadership and implementation capacity are agreed separately.
At Worship Online, we coordinated specialist expertise around ongoing maintenance, product work and the budget. For Palladium, we coordinated API delivery across teams while protecting the existing portal.
Your application. A clear next step.
