I have a built a MVC Web framework with Ruby using Rack. I also implemented the ActiveRecord pattern. After completing the framework, I also built a simple TODO app with the framework. You can find it here https://github.com/andela-sdamian/micro_mvc_ruby

I have built lots of application on Rails ranging from simple todo app to large scale application used daily. I have also built lots of APIs with rails and I am familiar with most rails design pattern. You can check out my GitHub page to find out more about this projects, just such for rails as a tag.

I once built a full application with backbone consuming an API I built with ruby on rails. You can find the source code here (https://github.com/andela-sdamian/backbone_antbucket). I also have a made some tutorials on Youtube on this subject. You can find that here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iFLGz4zfbY&list=PLdHXPLoPD13VaBDcrx21mXoWp0EGvRKem)

I use vim and Tmux everyday and have a good VIMRC file. I also use various editors but like everything in life, they all have their use cases. I can comfortably navigate my way through vim without hiccups. 

I know javascript  and have built a simple quiz framework on it. I have also played with react and redux. I also use jQuery on a day to day basis.  I have built a ticketing app with react(no redux or flux involved) and also done some react/redux/react-semantic-ui programming . 

I really love postgres and have written postgres queries up to hundred lines. I am comfortable with database views, all sort of joins, subqueries, and the likes. I know how to full database from several tables and also spice them up using postgres inbulilt functions.  

Since I am comfortable with Postgres, mysql is just pretty easy although, there are differences but they similarities are way more higher. 

I am very comfortable with git and encourage it for all developers. From deploying a particular commit to staging server or time travelling to a previous commit or going through history on the reflog, I have been there.

Understand the agile process, from setting up daily stands up to spring planning. To coming up with user stories and setting deadlines for completion.
