Building AI-powered products with Ruby on Rails. Speaking about what I learn.
I speak at Ruby conferences about practical AI integration and emerging technologies.
| Talk | Conference | Date |
|---|---|---|
| The State of the Ruby AI Toolbox | XO Ruby New Orleans | September 2025 |
| Digital Identity: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Web3 | Blue Ridge Ruby | May 2023 |
📺 Watch all my talks on RubyEvents.org
Tools I'm building at the intersection of Rails and AI:
|
Rails 8.1 app to visualize Claude Code conversation history. Parses JSONL files, shows tool analytics, tracks agent subprocesses.
|
Demo app for my XO Ruby talk. Explores RubyLLM, Raix, and Raif Engine patterns for LLM integration in Rails.
