Self-taught developer web developer that began my professional career in Ruby on Rails consulting with thoughtbot inc. in 2007. Since 2017 I have been primarily using Elixir and Phoenix and most recently I led the migration of a mature flagship product from Ruby on Rails ReactJS and Phoenix over the course of 2 years while continuing to build new features and without creating additional downtime.
I am committed to Agile and TDD principles and firmly believe all good things come from a good process and whole-team collaboration. I pride myself on insisting on code quality above everything, with an emphasis on simplicity and maintainability so that responding quickly to new challenges and opportunities is always a given. At the same time, I have extensive experience directly serving clients and supporting business development goals and understand how all these interests must be balanced for the long term success of projects.
Truly full stack. While I most enjoy designing data models with Elixir, Ecto and Phoenix, I am also comfortable with server administration and orchestration, as well as designing product features and building out front end UI. I love to learn and I am powered by novel problems.
