SW development

Web 1.0 principles, dialed to 10. Simple, fast and privacy-first tools like we used to have, but built with modern tech.

Hi!

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. Without unnecessary complexity, tracking, and cloud lock-in. I believe in the straightforward approach of the early web, updated for modern development needs.

And yes: I do AI too.

I specialize in

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Modernizing outdated software to keep it secure, fast, and compatible with current technology.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
