Solutions

Three ways I work with you

Fixed scope. Honest timelines. No hand-offs, no agency overhead.

01

SaaS MVP (4–8 weeks)

Rails + Postgres + auth + billing + first AI feature. Real users on real infra by week 8.

Start a build
02

Workflow Engine

Triggers, conditions, actions. Templates that hydrate at runtime. Same pattern that powers Novalexi.

See an example
03

Drop AI Into Your Product

RAG, chat, analysis, agents. Plugged into your existing Rails or Postgres. Shipped in weeks, not quarters.

Scope a feature

Features

Built where it matters.

Patterns the founder proved over 5 years in healthcare SaaS, IP management, and employee engagement — not demoware.

  1. 01 · /workflow-engine

    Workflow Engines

    Hydration templates, triggers, conditions, actions. Shipped on Novalexi (IP automation) and Feedback Robot (review aggregation).

  2. 02 · /ai-integration

    AI Integration

    ruby_llm chat + analysis, RAG over your data, prompt orchestration. AI as a feature inside your product — not a wrapper.

  3. 03 · /rails-saas

    Rails SaaS Backbone

    Rails + PostgreSQL + Redis + Sidekiq. Multi-tenant patterns, background jobs, audit trails. The boring parts done right.

  4. 04 · /edge-ready

    Edge-Ready

    Cloudflare Workers deployment (this site runs there). Sub-50ms responses globally. No server to babysit.

  5. 05 · /integrations

    Integrations That Stick

    Fitbit, Google Fit, Amazon Gift Cards, SendGrid, S3, OAuth. Real production wiring, not hello-world.

  6. 06 · /i18n-ready

    i18n From Day One

    Vietnamese and English routed by middleware. Add locales by dropping a JSON file. No retrofits later.

Founder

One engineer. Full accountability.

Founder: 5 years shipping Rails SaaS before founding Taywind. Healthcare, employee engagement, IP management, workflow engines, AI integrations.

Field notes from shipping Rails SaaS with AI inside. Process, tradeoffs, lessons.
