• Frameworks/Libraries: Ruby on Rails, Minitest, FactoryBot, Hotwire, React (for occasional frontend spikes)
• Database: SQL Server (MSSQL), PostgreSQL (sometimes), Redis (for caching/queues)
• Dev Tools: Git, Docker, VS Code, tmux, iTerm2, Zsh
• Testing: Minitest + FactoryBot
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions, CircleCI
