I have been using the web framework Ruby on Rails for a long time because I like its remarkably fast development cycle. It does not take time to translate an idea into your app. Specifically useful when comes the time to deliver a prototype. I am up to date with the new features which came with the 5.2 version. I can help you organize your code or debug. Setup a json-based API, add authentication, make your app more robust with tests, and deploy to Heroku.

I have been using ruby for a long time – in both personal and professional projects. I can help you with object-oriented design/code, functional programming or meta-programming. And I can help with refactoring and testing. I am up to date with the new features which came with the 2.5 version.

Heroku has been my default choice for deploying Rails apps for many years. I can help you deploy your code and make sure the assets pipeline works well. I can help you install and use add-ons, peek into your database, or setup a custom domain for your app.

I can help you troubleshoot HTML and CSS problems, and manipulate the DOM using jQuery. I can provide help with doing a responsive design with a frontend grid framework like Bootstrap or Foundation.

Git is an invaluable tool I would have a hard time to live without. I use it for structuring my work in sizeable and comprehensible chunks (especially in the eyes of others), rewriting my commit history when I want to add stuff in a previous commit (interactive rebase), merging, rebasing, and more generally keeping my sanity when working on a team.
