Hi, I’m Alisha Taylor 👋

Full-Stack Software Engineer | Ruby on Rails & React | Remote-First

I'm a full-stack developer who loves building meaningful, maintainable tools that help people get things done. I specialize in Ruby on Rails, React, and JavaScript, with a strong focus on developer experience, product thinking, and clean architecture.

🔧 Tech I use regularly:
Ruby on Rails · React · RSpec · Supabase · PostgreSQL · Netlify · CI/CD · GitHub Actions

🎒 Currently building:

  • A private family messaging app (Rails + React)
  • A RuneScape clan tracker (Supabase + Netlify)
  • Islamic educational games for kids
  • A full portfolio site featuring these projects

🧪 Past wins:

  • Built the “Data Wizard” tool at MyTime — still used daily to automate QA test setup
  • Redesigned donation tooling at Daily Kos for better maintainability and user experience
  • Launched and sold a Shopify store after reaching product-market fit

🪄 Still under the hood of it all, I believe in the magic of code.

My first tool was called Data Wizard, and the name stuck — because even after years of building, I still get that spark when something just works. My home office is a little slice of Middle-earth, filled with scrolls, runestones, and glowing screens. Code is my spellbook, and GitHub is the wand.

If you're building something meaningful (or magical), I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to explore my pinned projects below ⬇️
