I make Git make sense. I can teach you Git so you really understand what's going on, how to use it most effectively, and to get the most out of Git.

If you got yourself into a mess with Git, I can help you get out of it. Merge conflicts, rebase issues, I can help.

I've been intimately involved with Perl for over a decade and have worked on many of its libraries and infrastructure. I can help with everything: installing CPAN modules, debugging your code, improving performance.

I can help with using ORMs like ActiveRecord, how to do a complicated join, figuring out why a query is slow, and to how to model data in SQL.

I can help you think in C, deal with memory management issues, and select the right functions to use (and avoid the dangerous ones).

I might not be able to answer questions about Ruby tools and frameworks, but I can help debug your Ruby code and suggest ways to take better advantage of Ruby.
