Ruby and Rails Developer with 7 years experience. Currently into Ember.js

My name is Matthew Rudy, and I've been doing Ruby and Rails since early 2006.
I'm passionate about development and developers.

I'm from London, but I lived in Hong Kong from 2010 until 2013.
In Hong Kong I worked hard to build up the development community, starting the Tech meetup group Codeaholics along with Eddie Lau and Steve Holmes.

In mid 2013 I returned to London, and currently work as a contractor doing Ruby and Javascript for startups in the Old Street area.
