ABOUT ME
Ruby and Rails developer for over 15+ years.
Ruby and Rails developer for over 15+ years.
I have been developing computer/web/mobile applications for the last 15 years. Most of my education has been self-taught, although I have finished a 3-year diploma for Computer Science Technology at Sheridan College in a year. My passions lie in programming, mostly in Ruby, as well as, small electronics. I have been building custom electronics for the past few years. I love to share my passions and by doing so, I've started a makerspace, a coworking space and have run a number of courses teaching Ruby, Rails and other web technologies to assorted age groups. Alongside that, I also run a meetup group called "Yukon Tech Collective" and am working hard at bringing more technology into the Yukon.

I have been coding in Ruby since 2007 but since I've built my own gem in 2010, I'd say my Ruby knowledge and skills improved 10+ fold. I've been focusing more and more on Ruby (away from Rails) for the last couple of years.
