Miguel went above and beyond to resolve the system bug I had - would have never been able to fix it on my own.

Miguel was very helpful and knowledgable. He quickly helped me figure out what exactly my problem was and walked me through how to solve it. I learned a lot about Rails development working with him. Would definitely recommend for future Ruby and/or Rails work.
