Owner

Over the years I've built and maintained lots of Rails apps. Just a few examples:

Arnold Clark

* Helped to build a Rails app for car service booking system in 6 weeks (https://www.arnoldclark.com/servicing/book) resulting in a 350% increase in bookings
* Helped rebuild Arnold Clark's flagship site (https://www.arnoldclark.com) with Rails and React.js - 1 million uniques a month
* Built an internal Rails app for automating advertising for that currently saves around £100K a year

Growth for Small Business

* Built a Rails app dashboard tool for MerchantAds (https://www.merchantads.com/) giving a 4 hour a week time saving - a SaaS app is in the works!
* Rebuilt a Wordpress app (https://www.dytapro.com) in Rails (https://www.talkgdpr.com) using Heroku, TDD, Devise, Bootstrap and Stripe (soon to be launched)

List of Things for Sale

* My first Rails app - the world's simplest ecommerce site that got to number 1 on Hacker News and got 36,000 uniques in the first 24 hours

All these things have been built with TDD, CI and Agile methodologies. I'm a stickler for code quality so I've spent many years improving my refactoring techniques.

Growth for Small Business

* Created DRS - an automatic reporting system in AWS Lambda and Python giving 100 hours time saving to date

McGarry Fashion

* Created a reporting tool in Python that I've maintained for 3 years and saves 15 man hours a week
