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 · APIs · Hotwire · HTMX · Sidekiq · Redis
Ruby and Rails Upgrades
Modernizing outdated software to keep it secure, fast, and compatible with current technology. Preventing costly security vulnerabilities and performance issues.

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 · Linux
