Summary
Botond Orbán is a seasoned Ruby on Rails architect and freelance contractor with over 16 years of hands-on experience building and rescuing web platforms for startups and enterprise clients. He specializes in backend architecture (Rails, Hanami, CQRS/DDD, event sourcing) while also delivering pragmatic front-end solutions with React/Redux and performance-minded patterns like field-level caching and Turbo/Stimulus. Botond has a track record of reducing tech debt and enabling zero-downtime bounded-context extractions, securing applications with MFA, and dramatically cutting page load times (e.g., 12s to 1.2s) through bespoke tooling. Comfortable leading remote teams, he pairs deep theoretical knowledge and TDD discipline with practical delivery—often stepping into the hardest problems such as high-load APIs, geolocation bidding algorithms, and fintech tokenisation platforms. Based in Romania, he is exclusively interested in remote engagements and continually explores new architectural patterns and libraries to solve complex product challenges.
