I have 12+ years experience with web development. 7 of those years have been with a Ruby on Rails focus and accompanying DevOps. I also have extensive experience with Javascript, ECMAScript6+, and various frameworks like Ember, React.js, etc. I believe maintaining a high-level of communication during a project is paramount to the success of a project, in addition to it finishing on-time and on-budget. Software development is my business, I'm not moonlighting with a full-time job during the day. As such, I will not disappear one day to never be heard from again. Which unfortunately is a common situation with freelance developers. Additionally, I believe in high-quality software development practices like automated testing, test-driven development, continuous integration/delivery, daily stand-ups, etc All of this is with the end goal of helping businesses increase their return on investment with their software development projects. I have expert experience with the following technologies : - Ruby, Ruby on Rails - jQuery, Javascript - HTML5, CSS3 - Nginx - Ubuntu, DevOps - Postgres, MySQL - Rackspace, AWS, Digital Ocean, Heroku - Background processing, Queuing (Resque/Sidekick) - REST, Web Services, SOAP - High-performance APIs (JSON/XML) - Payment Processing - Stripe, Braintree, Paypal, Chargify I also have general experience with: - Apache - Linux variants other than Ubuntu - ElasticSearch, Solr, Sphinx - MongoDB Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
