Joe Masilotti is a Turbo Native consultant and founder with 12 years of experience helping Rails teams ship iOS and Android apps by reusing web views with Hotwire/Turbo Native. Based in Portland, he’s built and launched 25+ Hotwire Native apps, contributed to the turbo-ios framework, and leads RailsDevs—a reverse job board empowering independent Rails developers. He combines full-stack Rails expertise with native iOS skills (Swift/Objective-C) and a strong testing background evidenced by contributions to KIF and UI testing guides. Joe is pragmatic about hybrids: shipping high-coverage HTML quickly while selectively dropping into UIKit/SwiftUI for performance-critical or bespoke screens. He’s equally comfortable pairing with teams to elevate their Hotwire skills and implementing the CI, auth, and analytics plumbing that turns prototypes into App Store releases.
