Web Applications • Modernizing Legacy Systems • Reducing Infrastructure Costs
Web 1.0 principles, dialed to 10. Simple, fast, privacy-first tools built with modern tech. No tracking, no bloat; just simplicity.
My name is Vítek Meloun and I'm a seasoned Ruby on Rails developer from the Czech Republic. Over the years, I worked with various clients around the globe to help with their Ruby and Rails projects.
My philosophy is simple: software should be fast, private, and run on your own terms. No unnecessary complexity, no tracking, no cloud lock-in. I believe in the straightforward approach of the early web, updated for modern development needs.
Backend Development
Building the behind-the-scenes systems that power websites and applications; the parts users don't see but rely on every day.
Ruby, Rails, server-side architecture, APIs, business logic, data processing
Ruby and Rails Upgrades
Modernizing outdated software to keep it secure, fast, and compatible with current technology. Preventing costly security vulnerabilities and performance issues.
Legacy Rails migrations, version upgrades, Ruby version management, dependency updates
DevOps & Infrastructure
Reducing expensive cloud bills by setting up systems you control, while maintaining reliability and performance.
Cloud exit strategies, self-hosted solutions, CI/CD pipelines, Docker/Kamal deployments
Technologies and tools I work with:
Developer tool that helps teams verify their code works correctly before deploying — without relying on complicated cloud services.
Local testing CI. Run tests locally, share signed results in pull requests via Git notes. No remote servers needed.
Automated setup tool that configures a complete Linux development environment with a single command, saving hours of manual configuration.
One-command configurator for Arch Linux. No longer maintained since Omarchy appeared.
Content management system designed for simplicity and speed. Lets you manage website content without the bloat of traditional platforms.
My take on what a modern, yet simple CMS should be. Currently an internal tool.
