Mike Taylor
I'm a web developer/engineer, focused on Ruby on Rails and JavaScript. I typically work in Ruby or JavaScript (e.g. Ruby on Rails, Node, React), supporting database query languages and shell scripts, and Git for version control. I enjoy building practical solutions for today, with consideration for the needs of scaling tomorrow.
