Introduction
I have over 14 years of experience in software development. Six years with Ruby on Rails.
I'm spoke at this years RailsConf, the largest conference for Ruby on Rails developers.
While working for Zvents.com, I doubled the number of events indexed year over year. We were then acquired by Stubhub.
While consulting with Manilla.com, I implemented an in-app CMS that allowed product managers to update the site directly. This saved hundreds of engineering hours. We won the Webby Award and the People’s Voice Award for Best Banking/Bill Paying Website. We were named one of PC Mag’s top 100 sites of 2012.
I've turned down a contract from Twitter because I was too busy with client work.
I love making great software. Let me help you.
