ABOUT ME
Ruby on Rails, iOS Developer for 5+ years as a Senior Software Developer for E-Data Now!
Ruby on Rails, iOS Developer for 5+ years as a Senior Software Developer for E-Data Now!
Senior Software Developer for E-Data Now! which is a Ruby on Rails App that has an iOS App portion to it. From this I have experience in many languages ranging from Ruby on Rails, Javascript to Swift / Objective-C on the iOS end. I have mentored interns and colleagues for the past couple of years in the skills mentioned above. I love to make code beautiful and to make sure it is built the right way (at the time!), meaning to follow TDD / BDD and also following a lot of the principles where applicable that Uncle Bob stresses on in his books and videos! I also help host and organize a local code retreat that happens semi-annually.

When you have to work in Rails, you have to work in HTML and CSS and thus where my experience comes from.
