I'm very comfortable with Ruby language and use a healthy mix of both object oriented and functional programming styles depending on the problem at hand.

I have shipped countless successful Ruby on Rails projects throughout my career and contributed to some open source projects.
I have experience in both building out new robust features, extracting services from a legacy codebase as well as optimising existing code for performance.
I prefer a clean self documenting coding style and enjoy refactoring out abstractions that make the solutions more elegant.

Best experience on CodeMentor yet. He introduce me to a gem which probably will save a lot of time and effort.

He was extremely helpful and patient! I needed some help with some Ruby code and he fixed it immediately. I then asked him to explain what happened so I could learn, and he walked me through all of the steps.
