About Prabin Poudel

I'm a Ruby on Rails consultant, owner of a SaaS product, open source contributor, and speaker working mostly with agencies, SaaS founders, and technical teams around the world.

I don't just write code; I solve problems, ship features, and deliver on time. My approach is straightforward: take deadlines seriously, keep promises, and always think about how I can help succeed the project or companies I am working with. Whether it's building a custom Rails applications, SaaS platforms, or contributing to open source, I bring the same level of commitment and technical depth.

I co-founded and led Truemark Technology, a software development agency, from 2017 until 2025. That experience taught me how to build products, lead teams, and deliver at scale. Now I work with clients like CPA Connect, Hamilton Dev Co., and Open Secrets Pro, delivering production-ready Rails applications. I'm also an active contributor to projects like Bullet Train and maintain my own SaaS product Zero Config Rails, helping other developers ship faster.

What I Do

Consulting & Development

I work with agencies, SaaS founders, and technical teams to build production-ready Rails applications. Deep expertise in Ruby on Rails, from API design to automated tests, multi-tenancy and enterprise-scale development. I focus on delivering on time, every time.

Building & Leading Teams

I co-founded and led Truemark Technology, a software development agency, from 2017 until 2025. We built custom software solutions, e-commerce platforms, and provided remote development teams for clients worldwide. That experience taught me how to build products, lead teams, and deliver at scale—skills I bring to every consulting engagement.

Side Hustle

I maintain my own SaaS product Zero Config Rails, which automates Rails project setup and helps developers create fully configured Rails applications in minutes. This side project lets me experiment with new ideas, solve real problems I face daily, and build something that helps other developers ship faster. It's the perfect blend of product development, customer feedback, and continuous iteration.

Open Source Contributions

I contribute to projects that help other developers. You'll find my code in Bullet Train (the Rails SaaS framework powering 1000+ applications). Contributing to open source is my way of giving back to the community that has given me so much.

Speaking & Knowledge Sharing

I share what I've learned through talks at meetups and conferences. Topics range from coding standards to building reusable UIs with ViewComponent. You can find my talks on Speaker Deck.

Beyond Code

When I'm not writing code, you'll find me doing things that keep me balanced and inspired:

Trekking

I love exploring the mountains of Nepal. There's something about being in nature, pushing physical limits, and disconnecting from screens that helps me think clearer and come back to code with fresh perspective.

Luna

I have a husky named Luna who keeps me active and reminds me to take breaks. Dogs are great at forcing you to step away from the computer and get some fresh air, exactly what you need during long coding sessions.

Meditation

Meditation helps me calm my mind and stay focused. It's become an essential part of my routine, especially when dealing with tight deadlines. A clear mind writes better code.
