I love code.

Sitting down at a blank slate to start a new project, that’s invigorating to me. I learn something new with every project, and I love that. New web frameworks, CSS features, database optimizations — I love this stuff.

I’ve been coding since I was 11, making Myst-like games in Hypercard. I started taking college classes at 15, and teaching myself web development on the side. Got a B.A. in Computer Science when I was 19 and started doing web programming for a Fortune 500 company in 2006.

I found Ruby on Rails in 2009 and loved it. I built some projects on nights and weekends, and struck out on my own to do Rails work in 2010.

I write web apps. I’m good at picking up new technologies and applying them quickly, and I get things done. If you need a complete app built, whether it’s a startup or a rewrite of a legacy system, I can help.

What I do

Ruby on Rails: Web applications

Wordpress: CMS-driven sites

HTML5/CSS3/jQuery

I’ve set up Linux servers, written apps with CodeIgniter, designed websites, and built MySQL databases. I’ve built video recording sites that used Adobe Flex. I’m flexible and like learning new things, so if the project calls for it, I’ll learn and use it.
