ABOUT ME
Are you new to Rails? Need help debugging or cleaning up your code? I can help!
Are you new to Rails? Need help debugging or cleaning up your code? I can help!
Mastering the in's-and-out's of Rails can be tricky, especially for a beginner. I've been using the framework exclusively for the past decade, so I can help you learn from my own experience.
--
I work with entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses to build Ruby on Rails web applications for their technology-based businesses.
My previous experience was as a .NET developer, so I know what it's like to be learning Rails for the first time. I can help with debugging those issues that you just can't figure out, refactoring the code that just doesn't look right, and learning the best practices and conventions that will take you from beginner to intermediate and beyond.
Two heads are always better than one, so don't hesitate to schedule a session!

I am a professional Ruby on Rails developer and have been specializing in the framework for the past decade. I have built dozens of production web applications for clients and as side-projects during that time.
I have a deep understanding of Rails conventions, best practices and principles. I am also a skilled debugger that can help track down the trickiest issues

My work as a consultant has put me in contact with scores of startups. Seeing their successes and failures has made me a believer in the "lean startup" methodology of bootstrapping your business, validating your ideas *before* building anything, and failing fast.
I've worked with these clients to run experiments, build MVPs, and think outside of the box about how to get their idea off the ground. I can help you brainstorm, strategize, and execute on all your technology-based ideas.
If you are a budding entrepreneur (or even an experienced one), do yourself a favor and learn about the lean startup movement and give it a shot. You'll save yourself time, money, and heartache, and you'll give yourself the *best* chance of succeeding.

Every single one of my projects has been deployed to the Heroku platform, so I'm a pro at getting it up and running with Rails, debugging deployment issues, and setting up add-ons and third-party services.

I use Git on a daily basis for version controlling my source code and interacting with open-source projects. Keeping a clean Git history through rebasing, feature branching, and writing good commit messages is my passion. I think more developers should take the time to learn how to use Git to its fullest capacity.

Thank you for your help it was nice to get some dust off. It made more sense of what I was trying to accomplished. Carlos is fantastic and was able to help me with me being a bit rusty with Ruby. I am glad he was able to help out. I feel more confident now after not touching ruby for almost 8 years
