Hi, I’m Shey — Backend & Production Systems Developer

I’m a backend-focused software developer working primarily with Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, and background job systems.

My work focuses on high-throughput data processing, reliability, and performance in mature applications, especially where database design, application architecture, and operational constraints meet.

The work I care about most is below the feature layer: understanding how production systems behave, finding the constraints that shape them, and improving their reliability, performance, and long-term health.

🔧 Projects

  • Open Source Rails: Retired project — a curated list of open-source Rails applications
  • osr-infra: Retired infrastructure repo with Ansible roles and playbooks for deploying Rails applications on DigitalOcean

✍️ Writing

I write at shey.ca about Rails, PostgreSQL, performance tuning, production systems, and software design.
