I'm Artem Blazhievskii (ablzh) — a full-stack Ruby on Rails developer with a background in Business Information Systems. I build end-to-end web and mobile applications using Rails 8, Hotwire, and practical AI integrations. I handle the full cycle: from backend architecture and database design to responsive frontend interfaces and automated deployments.
