ABOUT ME
Full Stack Expert (Ruby, Javascript, Mongo, Node)
Full Stack Expert (Ruby, Javascript, Mongo, Node)

I've been doing full stack development professionally since 2007, when I started building web applications with Ruby on Rails. I've helped build applications across a variety of industries like health care, social, e commerce, dating, and many more.

For the past several years I've been running Frothlogic, my consulting company, where I do full stack development using ruby, node, go, JavaScript (backbone, angular, react, webpack) and iOS.
