Your business is ready to scale.
Your Rails monolith isn't.
Here's the thing: you don't need another developer. You need a specialized fleet of AI agents that upgrade, test, and refactor your legacy codebase while your team focuses on shipping features.
Why I built this.
I'm Damian. I've spent 15 years inside large Rails codebases. Trust me when I say this: I've seen the same pattern destroy velocity at company after company. Teams hire brilliant developers to build features, but the "janitorial work" (upgrades, flaky tests, refactoring) gets ignored until it kills momentum.
Here's what nobody tells you: hiring more humans to fix technical debt is a losing battle. It's slow. It's expensive. And your best developers hate doing it.
So I stopped taking standard freelance contracts. I built a machine to do the heavy lifting instead.
Most companies don't know how to implement agents correctly. They throw markdown files with rules at the problem and call it AI. That's not what I do. I build real agents that understand your codebase and execute autonomously.
The Monolith Bottleneck
These problems are solved. It just takes the right process and the right tools to make it happen.
The "Friday Fear"
You only deploy once a day. Never on Fridays. Why? Because your CI takes 45 minutes and you don't trust the test suite. Every merge feels like rolling the dice. There's a fix for this.
The Upgrade Wall
You're stuck on Rails 6.0. You know you need to upgrade to 7.2 or 8.0. But it's a massive project nobody wants to own. This doesn't have to be painful.
The Hiring Trap
You're trying to hire Senior Devs to fix this. But onboarding takes forever. By the time they're productive, the codebase has moved on. There's a better way.
The AI Illusion
You gave your team Cursor and Copilot. Great tools. But here's what happened: they write legacy code faster now. The architecture problems? Still there. The right agents change this.
My Optimization Infrastructure
Let me be clear: I don't sell a SaaS. I deploy these agents directly into your repository. They do the work of an entire Maintenance Team. And they never get tired.
Recent Case Study: FinTech Series B
The ROI is simple.
A typical engagement frees up $100k+ / year in senior engineering time. How? By removing the recurring friction that slows everyone down: slow CI, upgrade debt, risky refactors. Your team stops firefighting and starts building.
This also improves Revenue Per Employee by increasing output without increasing headcount. Your CFO will notice.
The Future of Development
Internalize Your Agents
Here's the key insight: you need to own your automation. Use the latest models. Customize the workflows. Keep your code private. Agents become permanent assets that stay with your company forever. This is how you future-proof your stack.
Redefine Developer Roles
Your developers shouldn't spend 80% of their time on execution and 20% on strategy. Flip that ratio. Let AI handle the grunt work while your team focuses on product vision, technical surveys, and meaningful innovation. That's where the magic happens.
How Each Agent Works
Transparency builds trust. I'll show you exactly what each agent does, its safety guarantees, and what to expect. No black boxes here.
Gem Upgrade Agent
Automated dependency upgrades with full changelog analysis, CVE detection, and isolated test validation. No more dependency hell.
Code Review Agent
Deep code review for security vulnerabilities, N+1 queries, architecture drift, and Rails best practices. Catches what humans miss.
Rails Version Upgrader
Major Rails version migrations (6→7→8) with zeitwerk fixes and config updates. The upgrade project nobody wants to do. Done.
Legacy Code Refactor
Extract god objects, split fat controllers, and modernize patterns. The scary code everyone avoids? It becomes maintainable.
Auto Doc Agent
Generate YARD comments, READMEs, and API docs from code analysis. Documentation that's always up to date. No more excuses.
Performance Fixer Agent
Fix N+1 queries, add missing indexes, and optimize memory usage. Your app gets faster without anyone spending hours profiling.
Flaky Test Fixer Agent
Identify and fix intermittently failing tests. No more CI lottery. You push code knowing it's actually green.
Test Fixer Agent
Diagnose and fix failing RSpec tests with systematic debugging. Red tests turn green. Automatically.
New Feature Planner Agent
Plan implementations with architecture decisions and task breakdown. Start building with clarity, not guesswork.
I18n Extractor Agent
Extract hardcoded strings to locale files for internationalization. Going global becomes a lot less painful.
Fast Boot Optimizer Agent
Reduce Rails boot time by optimizing gem loading and initialization. Your console starts in seconds, not minutes.
Harmonise Views Agent
Standardize spacing, colors, and styling across your views. Make your app look like one product, not a patchwork.
How I Differ From Agencies
| Capability | Me | Typical Agencies |
|---|---|---|
| Custom AI Agents (not SaaS) | ✓ | ✗ |
| Codebase stays private | ✓ | ✗ |
| 15 years Rails expertise | ✓ | Partial |
| Agents evolve with your code | ✓ | ✗ |
| Direct access to expert | ✓ | Team |
Questions You Might Have
"We have a unique stack. Will this work?"
Let me be direct: yes. The agents are framework-agnostic and learn your specific patterns. I build them to understand your codebase's unique architecture. They adapt to you, not the other way around.
"We tried Cursor/Copilot and the code was garbage."
Here's the thing: that was months ago. Models have evolved dramatically. But more importantly, bad results usually come from poor context, not bad models. My agents add context intelligently. They understand your codebase before they write a single line.
"Do we implement all agents at once?"
Absolutely not. We start step-by-step, targeting your biggest bottleneck first. Monitor results. Then add more agents as needed. No overwhelm. Just steady progress.
"Can we do everything remotely?"
Yes. All collaboration happens via Slack, GitHub, and video calls. I work with companies worldwide. Distance doesn't slow anything down.
How We Work Together
The Audit
Discovery Phase
A low-risk "Health Check." I run static analysis tools and do a manual architectural review. You get a PDF report of vulnerabilities, bottlenecks, and a "Complexity Score." No commitment required.
The Cleanup Sprint
Execution Phase
A 2-week intensive sprint. I deploy the agents to execute the roadmap defined in the audit. We target the highest ROI bottleneck first (usually upgrades or CI speed). You see results fast.
The "Guardian"
Retainer Phase
I keep your app modern. Monthly dependency updates, continuous agent tuning, and performance monitoring. Your codebase stays healthy long-term.
Let's turn your Rails app into a masterpiece.
You're closer than you think to cleaning all your legacy code.
Hi Damian,
I'm [Your name], the [Role] of [Company].
We have [X] devs on our Rails monolith.
Velocity is suffering due to [slow CI / upgrades / tech debt].
Can you help us build a maintenance strategy for 2026?
See you soon,
