German Cruz

Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable, production-grade applications, with a strong focus on integrating AI into real-world development workflows.

I specialize in full-stack development using Ruby on Rails, modern JavaScript frameworks, and cloud-based systems. I've led features from idea to production, owning everything from API design and database architecture to frontend implementation and system performance.

AI is a core part of how I build. I use it to accelerate development, improve code quality, and automate workflows across the stack, from backend logic and debugging to content systems and operational tools. I focus on applying AI in practical ways that enhance real products, not just experimentation.

My work centers on creating systems that are clean, maintainable, and built to scale, while moving quickly without sacrificing quality.

Beyond development, I've mentored engineers, contributed to technical training programs, and collaborated closely with designers and stakeholders to deliver meaningful product outcomes.
