Top SchoolMax Weinberg is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of full-stack experience focused on the Ruby on Rails ecosystem, currently based in Columbus, OH. He designs and refactors systems—breaking monoliths into microservices and executing major Rails upgrades—while prioritizing clean, self-documenting code and measurable performance gains. His recent work includes converting large legacy SQL surfaces into maintainable Rails/ActiveRecord code and cutting p99 latency by up to 75% on high-traffic APIs. Equally comfortable on the frontend with React and Svelte, he bridges backend architecture and product value, shipping features like AI-derived translations and marketplace ordering flows. A hands-on technical leader and mentor, he enjoys improving engineering processes and developer experience through tooling and automated migrations. Notably, he led a cross-cutting initiative nicknamed "SQL Obliteration" that turned thousands of lines of legacy SQL into readable, testable application code.
