I’m a Programmer, and I Love What I Do.
I’m a Ruby on Rails developer in Kansas City. I do mostly remote work from my home office, with cool clients all over the US. I specialize in backend development, automated testing, and launching new applications. I also enjoy rescuing Ruby on Rails applications that have “derailed” due to inexperienced developers or unclear requirements.
If you think you could use my help, contact me. I’ll be happy to help with anything from a little free Rails advice, to ongoing project consulting. I also coordinate with other developers for larger projects as needed.
