Hotwire experience

Extensive experience with Turbo and Stimulus.

I built the Hotwire interface for Simplivisor’s financial simulation tools. That work led directly to my role at QuintEvents, where I built interactive Rails admin workflows.

I use Turbo to keep interactions within Rails and Stimulus for browser behavior. I’m comfortable maintaining this code in production applications.
