Summary
Andrew Porter is a pragmatic founder and senior software engineer with 15 years building and operating production Ruby on Rails systems, infrastructure, and developer tooling. He has a track record of stepping into undefined problems—launching platforms to production, containerizing complex dev environments, and cutting onboarding from days to hours. At SRS Acquiom and prior roles he married Rails expertise with automation (Helm, Terraform Cloud, Kubernetes) to make deployments repeatable and observable while mentoring teams. More recently he applies agent-assisted development to accelerate iteration without sacrificing code quality, deliberately balancing automation with human judgment. As founder of Rapid Turtle and Turtle Cab he combines product ownership, operational discipline, and customer-focused engineering for small businesses. Based in Hendersonville, Tennessee, he favors roles that reward steady execution, cross-boundary initiative, and leaving systems better than he found them.
