Started out as a Ruby on Rails developer ~2010
Quickly focused on back-end development, also with NodeJS, and nowadays with Elixir as well.
Along the way, several blockchain projects allowed me to gain experience in the field.
Have since done a Certified Ethereum Developer course to boost my skills.

Miguel was very helpful and knowledgable. He quickly helped me figure out what exactly my problem was and walked me through how to solve it. I learned a lot about Rails development working with him. Would definitely recommend for future Ruby and/or Rails work.
