About

Juan Carlos Ruiz is a full‑stack software engineer, conference speaker, and community catalyst with a soft spot for clean code, specialty coffee, and sharing what he learns. He has shipped production software since 2013, building with Ruby on Rails, JavaScript/Next.js, and, lately, Go — always with a focus on performance, DX, and accessible design.

A proud member of X‑Team, Juan pairs remote‑first mindset with hands‑on mentoring. He has guided newcomers through programs like RubyMe and First Ruby Friend, and he has spoken at international conferences (e.g. RubyConf Colombia 2019, Euruko 2021) to demystify topics such as FFI and modern Rails.

Locally, he co‑organizes Calzada Code, a monthly meetup in León, México where developers of all levels exchange ideas over tacos and terminal prompts.
