Worked at Groupon which used to be the largest Ruby on Rails app deployment before it was broken into micro-services. I've helped design, write, and maintain apps that were distributed across hosts and data centers. I can help you avoid developing the monolithic app from hell or help you break your existing monolith into manageable pieces. I can also help you get started in the right direction with your new Rails project.

Probably my most familiar language. Ruby was the primary language I worked in during my time at Groupon. Used it everyday for several years. Ruby the trusty work horse that I go to when I need to do something quickly.

I have several years experience managing Linux servers, both personally and professionally. Familiar with Ubuntu, CentOS, and CoreOS.

I've used Clojure for several projects. Good example is a file sharing application that is used to distribute and provide access control for financial reports.

Most of my experience with C# come from my work scripting in Unity, but also from developing Windows Services that communicate with custom hardware and the Unity process. Experience developing VR simulations for Oculus Rift.

I have done a fair bit of scripting in Python for system configuration management and a some other random automation tasks. I have also done some web development in Django; not as comfortable with it as I am with Rails but still cozy.

The language of the web, for better or worse. Not the sharpest knife in my drawer, but you can't do web development without knowing Javascript.

I worked with Mongo and TokuMX at Groupon. Managed cluster setup, updates, and regular maintenance and monitoring. Experience with the cluster itself and developing applications that use it.

I have developed multiple large scale applications that utilized MySQL as their backend datastore. Experience with query optimization and monitoring. Some experience tuning configuration.

Have been using Git for several years on a daily basis. My git-fu is pretty good.

Pretty much everyone in web development has used HTML and CSS, and so have I! Not an expert but very capable.

Deploy your apps to the Cloud and then power them with Google!
