Having worked with the Ruby on Rails framework on a large number of projects, I’ve developed a deep and practical understanding of both Ruby as a language, and Rails as a framework. I love the elegance and simplicity of Ruby and how it aids me in my quest to write beautiful code.

Rails has been my framework of choice since 2006, when Rails was still in it's first version. I attended the first Euro Rails conf in London in 2006 and my experience with the framework has grown as Rails has. I've worked on many both high profile and high throughput rails projects over the years and I've loved having a capable framework by my side.

I've been using git for revision control for around 10 years after previously working with SVN and CVS. Some of this work has been within larger teams, which has given me experience of the different workflow & branching strategies required in such environments.

Having previously worked with M-Brain (then Esmerk) on their high-throughput rails app, this time, I added numerous new features to their app, brought it up to date in terms of security, moved it to Ruby 1.9 and transferred the app over to a new cloud infrastructure at Brightbox.

As part of the Ruby development team, I worked on the complex set of Ruby/ Rails applications that drives Brightbox’s cloud platform. Brightbox take an agile development approach (based on SCRUM) which allowed me to pick up appropriate sized chunks of work to fit into my shorter working week. Development was very much BDD using RSpec, Cucumber and git for revision control. Features I implemented included the cloud IP allocation and mapping system and a fraud detection system.
