Hi! I am Samuel, a full-stack developer with 2+ years of experience in Rails and React. My background is in Information Security, which gives me a strong foundation in network security, cryptography, and database management. I do not just build web apps, I specialize in keeping them secure and resilient when things go wrong. I am currently focused on mastering Rails 8 and moving into the remote, high-growth startup space. I joined this community to learn from those who have successfully navigated the transition from freelance/independent work to senior roles in asynchronous teams. I am particularly interested in advice on positioning specialized security skills in a competitive global market. Excited to be here! I’m in Cyprus.
