Ruby on Rails is the reason I chose software development as a career.

The first time I saw it in 2014, I remember asking myself:

Where are the brackets, semi-colons, symbols…?

Why didn’t public static inherit void main?

How does has_many :orders and belongs_to :company work?

I’ve been in love with it ever since.

I’ve come a long way from there. I’ve started a company, built many side projects, worked a few jobs. All with Rails. I’ve also helped many non-technical people learn Ruby and Rails.

After 10 years of building on top of it, I’ve started digging deeper into Rails. I’m now comfortable opening gems and tweaking them as per my needs.

I submitted my first issue to Rails recently: rails/rails#55627. I’m running a client project on a fork that solves that issue.

I will contribute more to Rails and other open-source projects soon.
