👋🏽 Hey, I’m Malachai Frazier

Product-Focused Engineer • Ruby on Rails Veteran • Builder of Beautiful Things (and Strange Ones)

Welcome to my corner of the internet — where code meets creativity, and half-finished ideas eventually find purpose.

I’ve spent 12+ years crafting and scaling full-stack applications with Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and a mix of front-end frameworks (React, Vue, Hotwire, and a pinch of chaos**).
I build opinionated systems that feel good to use — because good software should respect your time and your sanity.

⚙️ I Build Things Like

• MVPs that actually ship (and scale)
• Tools for humans who still believe in craft
• Platforms that make collaboration, not consumption, the point
• Software that doesn’t pretend to be “AI-first,” just human-friendly

🧰 Toolbox

Ruby • Rails • Postgres • Hotwire • React • Node.js
Redis • GraphQL • Docker (begrudgingly) • AWS • Heroku
HTML5 • CSS3 • Bootstrap • Git • Design Thinking • Product Strategy

🧠 Currently Exploring

• AI-enhanced creativity and automation for builders
• Open-source sustainability and decentralized product ecosystems
• Stoicism as a framework for leadership, focus, and product integrity
• Writing weird, satirical media that punches up — Wake Up, Moron. and Inferno Times

🚧 Some Projects

• 🕹️ Noon Thirty-One — a minimalist digital playground for creative experiments and tiny apps
• 🗞️ Inferno Times — a darkly comic news network reporting live from the end of reason
• 📻 Wake Up, Moron. — coming soon — satirical late-night “conspiracy radio” for critical thinkers and insomniacs
• 🛠️ Detroit Handy Services — coming soon - Michigan-based handyman & property maintenance
• 📚 The Absurd Anthology — coming soon - dark, funny poetry for pretentious adults
• 🏛️ ShieldWork — coming soon — platform concept for bodywork professionals to organize, grow, and protect their craft
