Open to interesting work

AI, Rails, and
interesting
problems.

I’m Vipul. I run Saeloun and contribute to Rails. Right now, I’m looking to work with people building at the intersection of AI and software.

Tell me what you’re building The first 10 hours are on me.

What I’m interested in

Bring me a problem
worth working on.

It doesn’t need to fit neatly into one of these. If you’re working on something interesting and think I could help, I’d like to hear about it.

AI in your Rails app

You have a product people already use. Let’s figure out where AI would help, build a small working version, and see how it behaves with real inputs.

Search · Document workflows · Agents inside your product

How your team builds software

AI changes more than how you write code. I’m interested in working through what it means for your team: planning, implementation, review, and shipping.

Development workflows · Code review · Team structure

An AI product of your own

Have an idea, an early prototype, or something that’s stuck? We can work on the product and the code together, starting with one useful thing it should do well.

Prototypes · Product decisions · Getting to a first release

A place to start

Let’s spend
10 hours
on it.

Working together. Hands on.

For projects that are a good fit, the first 10 hours of my time are free.

We’ll agree on one problem and what we can reasonably tackle before we start. That could be a prototype, a change in your Rails app, or working through how your team uses AI.

If we want to keep going, we’ll agree on a paid scope first. There’s no obligation to continue.

Let’s talk about your project

Email me a little about what you’re building and where you’re stuck.

A little about me

I like building things.
And helping people
build them better.

I’m the founder of Saeloun, where we work with teams on their Ruby on Rails applications. My work spans writing code, helping teams make engineering decisions, and contributing to open source.

I’m interested in what AI lets us build, and what we need to change about the way we build software. I’d rather explore that by working on a real problem with you.

Have something in mind?

Tell me about it.

A few lines and a link are a good start.
