SEEKING WORK | Berlin, Germany or remote (originally from NYC, can make trips to US east coast)
Full stack Ruby and Javascript developer with experience as a lead dev, as well as a teacher/mentor. I believe in writing clear, readable, simple code and refactoring for performance as necessary. I'm good at communicating with other stakeholders, including non-technical execs/managers, thinking about the business problem and advocating for the user.
Most of my experience is with startups and small businesses. But I also have done a smattering of big company work including at the New York Times and Cleversafe ($1B onsite file storage service acquired by IBM). Over the past few years I have worked for a niche social media company, a B2B fashion supply chain management company and on a one-off art installation project for Davos.
Long time Rails dev (since Rails 2), more recently I've worked with Node.js/Express & React as well. Occasional smalltime open source contributor (most recently to KillBill a billing & payment platform). Not dev-ops per say but I have experience managing deployments with AWS, Digital Ocean, and Heroku. All that said I typically choose my work based on the teams and projects rather than the tech stack.
