I'm Andy Wang, a senior Ruby on Rails & AI product engineer normally based in UTC+8 timezone — more than two decades building web applications, on Rails since 2008, remote with US and European teams since 2011, and an active open-source contributor.
Stack
Open source
Fixes and features contributed back to the projects my own work depends on — mostly reliability: provider protocols, tool calls, attachments, structured output, caching and cost accounting, evals, and Rails integration.
Plus Langchain.rb, Rails gems and my own RubyLLM extensions. See all →
Words
Andy is very intelligent and has a strong understanding of web development principles. I've always been comfortable handing him a project and knowing that he'll be able to solve even the most difficult problems.
Andy is an experienced software engineering professional that excelled at tackling every single challenge thrown at him. I had witnessed him pick up several different codebases and be instantly productive.
A superstar with a finely honed ability to deliver well-tested, well-executed code. Consistently amazed with his ability to think creatively to solve hard problems with the resources on hand.
Any kind of bug or feature he took on was done quickly and done well. He communicated very clearly when he needed clarification. I never needed to worry that something would get done.
I'm looking for my next role, and I'm most useful where there are real users, non-trivial workflows, and a codebase that must keep running while it changes. Open to senior Rails and AI product engineering roles, AI workflow integration, and end-to-end delivery. UTC+8, but well practiced at meeting US/EU teams in the middle.
