I've been using Ruby as my swiss-army knife for a long time. I can help you with object-oriented code or meta-programming. And I can help with refactoring, testing, or functional programming.

I've been using Rails for a long time to be more productive in building web apps. I can help you organize your code and test it. I can help with deploying your app to Heroku or other cloud services, adding authentication, testing for performance, setting up an API, setting up monitoring with New Relic, etc.

I can help you manipulate the DOM, prepare the data for your API, fetch data from that API, organize and test your code. Happy to help with your single-page applications.

I have been using React for building single-page applications. I can help you organize your code, test it, and deploy it.

I can help you troubleshoot HTML and CSS problems. I can help with migrating to SASS, or doing responsive design with Bootstrap or any other grid framework. We can troubleshoot media queries or set up web components.

Heroku is my default choice for deploying Rails and Sinatra apps. I can help you deploy your code and make sure the assets pipeline works well. I can help set up a staging environment, install and use add-ons, migrate your database, rollback and troubleshoot deployments.

I can help test web applications and mobile websites using selenium/webdriver/capybara. I can help with setting up SauceLabs to farm out the testing and test on multiple mobile platforms.

I've built many a webapp with Python and Django or web.py. Also comfortable with scripting, automation, and game development.

I can help you design an HTML5 app for deployment on mobile devices.

I can help you design your app to make it responsive and use Bootstrap components so you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

I have deployed many enterprise webapps with Java and coached developers too.

Happy to help with general questions about CoffeeScript or with migrating your code to/from it.
