Gabriel Rubens.

I'm based in Portugal, originally from Brazil. Developer by background, Agilist for over a decade, now Product Owner by day. On the side, I ship products.

Four of them so far: Pensio, HobbyCat, Gravity, and GotHired. I tend to reach for Rails, Hotwire, and Hotwire Native, tools built for one person to ship a lot. Postgres on the back, Kamal to deploy, a VPS to run it. HobbyCat is the exception, and the best of them: my partner concepted it and designed every visual, and I'm the developer on it.

My thesis is plain. The internet has enough aggressive, attention-grabbing software. What it's short on is tools that are kind, tools that assume you will skip days, forget things, change your mind. I try to make those.

If any of that resonates, or you want to say hi, I'm easy to find.
