I taught myself Ruby in 2011 and it's been my main language ever since. I've been using Rails at early-stage startups since that time as well. I now maintain a couple of gems and co-organize New York City's monthly Ruby meetup.

I've written and deployed Rails apps at startups for 4 years now!

My favorite testing framework. Do more with less!

I've been the maintainer of Sentry's Ruby client for a while now, so I can help with any issues you have with it or error/exception reporting in Ruby.

Aside from the usual, I'm also experienced in using Activerecord standalone (sans Rails)

Most of my experience with Spree is pre-1.0, though 1.0 didn't change all that much!

Definitely can help out someone new to Git

I'm a TDD minimalist - do the least amount of testing possible to reach my desired level of confidence in my code. I wouldn't even call myself test-*driven* most of the time, even though I almost always test. If you're tired with the religious TDD POV, talk to me.

Specializing in reporting business metrics to the higher-ups.

Got a slow app? I can definitely help with that.
