# Andrei M.

> Ruby on Rails developer

Location: Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/andreim

Experienced software developer with a strong back-end focus, specializing in Ruby on Rails, API development, and cloud technologies. Over the past several years, I've built and optimized complex systems for companies across various industries, from telecommunications to education and media.

At Inteliquent Inc., I led the development of multiple API microservices, automating critical billing processes, and introducing an enhanced "admin panel on steroids" to reduce support team workloads. I also ensured security and compliance by restructuring session management and logging mechanisms.

Previously, at DialogEDU, I contributed as a full-stack developer, rebuilding front-end interfaces, integrating shopping cart functionality, and optimizing database performance by eliminating the need for ElasticSearch.

At MShanken Communications, I upgraded legacy systems and built custom internal tools, while at Tribeca Film Festival, I tackled code debt, improved deployment processes, and enhanced performance for a key web platform.

As a former founder of Ezpoisk.com, I designed and built a full-featured web application from the ground up, gaining firsthand experience in product development, architecture design, and managing full-stack projects.

My toolkit includes Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Docker, with a strong emphasis on clean, maintainable code, security compliance, and performance optimization. Passionate about continuous learning and innovation, I'm always seeking new challenges where I can bring value through scalable and efficient solutions.
