About the service
I am a backend developer and work in Crystal, and I chose it deliberately. Crystal gives clean and expressive syntax very close to Ruby, but compiles to a native binary with speed comparable to C. For you this means services that start instantly, use little memory and handle high load without the overhead of interpreted languages. It's neither Ruby nor Go: it's a statically typed compiled language with type inference, so the compiler catches entire classes of errors before production, and I maintain clean and careful style with code that's pleasant to support.
My work usually revolves around HTTP APIs, JSON services and background workers running constantly. I design data models, connect the database layer, add authentication and validation and ensure every endpoint is covered by tests. Crystal's fibers and channels let me build concurrent request handling that's easy to keep in mind, so a large flow of requests passes through one compact process. If you have a service that became slow or expensive to run, I can rewrite the hot section in Crystal, keeping the external contract unchanged so nothing connected breaks.
Beyond the code itself I care how the service is deployed and behaves under load. I package the binary in a container, set up reasonable logging and health-checks, profile the service to know exactly where time goes. I document the API clearly and build steps so your team can continue the work after the project is handed over. If you need pure speed without giving up a language that's truly pleasant to read, Crystal is a great fit, and I'll help you get there.
— Compiled HTTP APIs and JSON services in Crystal
— Static typing with type inference, errors caught at compilation
— Concurrency on fibers and channels for high throughput
— Database integration, migrations and query layer
— Authentication, validation and test coverage of endpoints
— Moving slow interpreted services into fast Crystal binaries
— Docker packaging, logging, health-checks and profiling
