Summary
Andrew Karelskiy is a Ruby developer with nine years in the industry and seven years focused on Ruby/Rails products, currently building backend systems at TaxDome from Serbia. He has experience modernizing legacy Rails applications into API-first architectures, improving performance (notably cutting an XLSX processing job from 10 minutes to 10 seconds) and resolving complex race conditions in background workers. His background spans fintech-grade auction platforms, CRM systems for large facilities, and SaaS products where he handled integrations, Docker/Nginx deployment, and payment/analytics tooling. He regularly takes on code review, mentoring, and requirements gathering, bridging engineering and business needs. Comfortable across fullstack concerns, he brings a pragmatic blend of refactoring discipline and shipping new features under production constraints. Notably, he pairs hands-on optimization wins with mentorship and operational ownership in mid-stage startup environments.
