Resume

Summary

I am a Rails developer who has built a variety of green field consumer facing apps for startups. I tend to work Agile. Meaning that I develop in pairs, write a lot of tests, build on stories, work with short iterations, forecast using yesterday’s weather etc.

In the past I’ve build a few data-driven applications, including applications that deal with semantic technologies, yield analysis and hardware validation.
