ABOUT ME

Full Stack Developer With a heart full of Ruby and Javascript

More than merely writing code, I focus on crafting code that will be easy to maintain long after I am gone, all while keeping focus on end user experience.

I've worked on Ruby apps of all shapes and sizes. Including multi tenanted SaaS apps with a lot of complexity under the hood. I am familiar with many of the growing pains they often have, and how to solve them. Althought I spend a lot of my time working with Javascript, I still think Rails is the king of web apps when it comes to speed of development, so it can be the right tool for the job for many projects.

Steamleft had over 650,000 unique visitors, and 500,000 participating users in its first week. It was featured on PCGamer, Kotaku, The Escapist, and dozens of more online outlets. Steamleft is a webapp that aggregates and compares data between your personal Steam API and HowLongToBeat's data to estimate how much time it would take to beat your entire Steam library. It also provides hilarious alternatives for what you could be doing with your time, like reading The Hobbit or running across the United States a certain number of times.
