Open source full stack developer (Ruby on Rails / Angular)
I'm a seasoned developer with a passion for open source, with previous experience in eCommerce and the pharmaceutical industries. Most recently, I'd been hacking on human interaction as the tech lead at Loomio, a New Zealand based social enterprise (www.loomio.org), and working on the next generation of tools for user researchers at Optimal Workshop (www.optimalworkshop.com)
Feel free to check out some of my open source contributions (Loomio, Mastodon, Discourse, Diaspora, and others) on my github profile, and don't hesitate to get in touch!

Another fantastic session with James where we were able to fix a big bug in my application that was giving me some real grief.

I almost don't want to write a review for James as I'm worried that he will be so booked I won't get a chance to work with him again. Another incredible and humbling mentoring session as I see how much I can learn. James easily sees solutions to complex problems and has a fantastic teaching style that helps me to gain so much in such a short time. Thanks again James.
