About
I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 19 years professional experience, focusing primarily on web development, in particular Ruby on Rails and JavaScript.
I take pride in the quality of my work and my communication skills, being able to understand my client's needs, and converting them into reality, exceeding expectations and meeting deadlines. I can cover the gamut from scalable back-end architecture and design, to semantic front-end HTML with modular, maintainable CSS and complex interactions using Javascript and third-party APIs. I've been freelancing since 2012, and can understand the importance of good communication and trust when dealing with remote workers.
