About

I am a software developer based in Victoria, BC who loves writing, programming and building web applications. I run an independent software studio specializing in Ruby on Rails. Building websites and web-apps with Ruby and Rails is something I really enjoy and love. Since launching in early 2024, I’ve successfully completed projects for multiple clients and continue to work with several on an ongoing retainer basis. If you have a Rails app that you need to build/maintain/enhance, or build/migrate a website to Rails, please reach out to me at akshay@typeangle.com. I also write a Rails-focused programming blog that's read by more than 30,000 developers all over the world each month. Check it out at https://www.writesoftwarewell.com/

Owner & Rails Programmer

Nov 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 5 mos · Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

TypeAngle is a small software studio based in Victoria, BC, where I help businesses to
1. build and maintain web applications using Ruby on Rails, and
2. interview, vet, and hire excellent Ruby on Rails developers.
Whether you’re starting something new or improving an existing app, I can help you move things forward. I’ve worked with early-stage startups, growing teams, enterprise companies, and other larger Rails agencies taking over legacy Rails projects. If you’re looking for someone who’s friendly, easy to work with, and focused on building software that delivers value, I’d love to chat.
I can also help you with your hiring needs. Finding solid Ruby on Rails developers is hard. Vetting them is harder. Don’t make your senior / lead devs waste countless hours scanning generic resumes and interviewing random people. I can help.
