Hugo Guitton — Rails Freelance Developer
Rails, written carefully,
shipped pragmatically.
I'm a freelance Rails developer based in France with nearly a decade of experience shipping web applications end-to-end. I lean on Rails conventions, Hotwire for snappy interfaces, and Postgres for sturdy foundations. I care about clean models, fast tests, and code that the next person — including future me — can read without flinching.
01 What I work with
Toolkit02 Where I've worked
Rails Freelance Developer — Independent
I build and rescue Rails applications for startups and product teams—handling Rails 7 → 8 upgrades, Hotwire migrations away from heavy SPAs, REST API design, and helping early-stage teams ship MVPs fast.
Full-stack Rails Developer — Phiture
B.Layer : built and maintained a no-code mobile experience design tool that lets CRM and lifecycle teams create advanced in-app messages without developer support. It combines a simple WYSIWYG editor with an advanced mode for custom styling, helping teams design, customize, and launch on-brand campaigns faster.
Junior Rails Developer — Luvotels
First role. Learned the fundamentals—Rails conventions, the safety of a green test suite—while building reservation systems where availability, timing, and concurrency actually mattered.

A basketball scouting platform that lets clubs build and maintain their own player databases—tracking prospects, monitoring performance, and centralizing scouting intelligence in one place.
