Andy Rusterholz
Ruby engineer · Longmont, Colorado
I've been building software since 2007, primarily in Ruby since 2011, working at the seam where platform meets product. I came up through circuit boards and server rooms, and I still like knowing my medium and my tools all the way down. I believe in instrumentation and documentation as part of the baseline definition of done.
Seeking senior or staff backend work in Ruby, on the platform side or the product side, for an established team or as an early engineer on something new. Remote, or on Colorado's Front Range.
Drawn to distributed systems (orchestration, observability) and the tooling that lets other engineers move fast within them. One of three architects of ezCater's orchestration platform, which moves about 500,000 events a day, five years without a customer-facing incident, and co-architect of the SDK that cut a team's onboarding onto it from a month to a week.
