I have extensive experience in datastores and data pipelines; nearly 15 yr of work that included such. I also have worked on bigdata systems, where we ingested, minimally, more than 200 GB per day. I also have extensive experience in data, including personalization and financial data warehousing.  These kinds of targeting systems designs can become a revenue engine for many kinds of business models. My AI work to date as dealt with data prep, cleaning, structuring and segmenting/classifying, with prediction, recommendation, pricing, and retraining.  Applications included lead source QC, price/value prediction, and matching.  Other applications included regression modeling for attentional measures and content.  Other platform services included feature extraction (structuring) and data rollups with lineage. I’ve done this with financial accounts at MyBankTracker, where I built engines for pricing and personalization, as well as our own CDP / CIP, ad network and fingerprinting/unmasking platform. This was done with student loans, with Barker and LendKey.   I expanded to brokerage and other instruments at Investopedia - where I drove the data architecture of an immersive personal-narrative experience.  I also developed large data warehousing and CDP modeling at Even Financial.   Triple Point Liquidity involved such data in the form of KYC, and was transited via blockchain, compiling indexing time-series in private equity.  Suvie is an IoT company with personalization and e-commerce, consolidating a data warehouse that draws in realtime from more than 12 primary sources.

How to negotiate Ruby on Rails developer hourly rates?

Whether you already have a development team or want to build a new one, hiring a skilled freelance Ruby on Rails developer can help accelerate your projects. The key factor when considering a freelance Ruby on Rails developer is your budget – how much you have and how much you're willing to invest. The hourly rates of Ruby on Rails developers can vary based on their location and your project's scope.

Let's begin with location. Hiring remote developers offers the advantage of choosing from various geographic locations and time zones that align with your project requirements. For instance, if most of your development team is based in North America, you might want to explore freelance Ruby on Rails developers in the United States, Canada, or Mexico for better worktime overlap. On the other hand, if you're on a tighter budget, consider working with freelance Ruby on Rails developers in South American countries like Argentina, Brazil, or Colombia, or in Asian countries like India, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Hiring freelance developers outside North America often allows for negotiation of lower Ruby on Rails developer hourly rates.

Another significant factor influencing the Ruby on Rails developer hourly rate is your project's scope. Typically, more complex projects mean higher overall costs. However, if you plan to engage with your freelance developer for an extended period, you can discuss a reduced Ruby on Rails developer hourly rate. Providing freelance developers with a consistent flow of projects incentivizes them to lower their hourly rates.

To accurately determine the total cost, have a detailed discussion about your project with your freelance developer. Ensure you convey your ideas comprehensively, which will enable your freelance developer to provide a precise Ruby on Rails developer hourly rate estimate. While estimating development timelines can be challenging for lengthy coding projects, offering the developer as much detail as possible will help align the estimate closely with the actual cost.
