Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Wood is a freelance Ruby on Rails specialist with over a decade focused on RoR and 25 years building web applications across languages including Java, Perl, PHP and JavaScript. Based in the Greater Cardiff Area, he combines senior developer and team-lead experience with hands-on full-stack delivery—modernising multi-tenant Rails CMSs, integrating complex Stripe payment flows and building AWS S3-backed media libraries. His work blends strong API and SQL expertise (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle) with pragmatic UX improvements like responsive design, quizzes and reporting dashboards that turned legacy sites into subscription businesses. A proven mentor, he has coached junior developers to dramatically improve performance (pages from 15–20s to sub-second) and has repeatedly converted bespoke projects into white-label products. He also has an entrepreneurial streak, having shipped commercial apps and tools (including a PHP-based Datafeed Studio and an iOS price comparison app) that expose his product-minded engineering approach.
