Senior🎓
Top SchoolTam Eastley is a full-stack Ruby on Rails developer with 12 years of experience building customer-facing web applications and a backend-first focus. Based in Berlin since an accidental 2008 move for a concert, Tam has transitioned from a writing background to deliver production systems across startups and scale-ups, including projects at Makerist, Liefery (RoR and occasional Elixir), and DAMPSOFT. They bring practical experience with PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Sidekiq, React, and RSpec-driven testing, and have led features from internationalization and payments to internal invoicing and large redesigns. Outside of work Tam is committed to diversifying tech, mentoring Rails Girls Summer of Code teams (SoundDrop) and supporting initiatives to get more women into software — a thread that ties together their teaching, writing, and engineering experience.
