Christopher I.

Hello!

I have 20 years experience with web development. 17 of those years have been with a Ruby on Rails & Javascript focus along with accompanying DevOps.

I believe maintaining a high-level of communication during a project is paramount to the success of a project, in addition to it finishing on-time and on-budget.

Software development is my business, I'm not moonlighting with a full-time job during the day. As such, I will not disappear one day to never be heard from again. Which unfortunately is a common situation with freelance developers.

I believe in high-quality software development practices like automated testing, test-driven development, continuous integration/delivery, daily stand-ups, etc

All of this is with the end goal of helping businesses increase their return on investment with their software development projects.

I have expert experience with the following technologies :

• Ruby, Ruby on Rails
• Javascript/Ecmascript 5+, Hotwire/Turbo/Turbolinks
• HTML5, CSS3
• Nginx
• Ubuntu, DevOps
• Postgres, MySQL
• Rackspace, AWS, Digital Ocean, Heroku
• Background processing, Queuing (Resque/Sidekick/Solid Queue)
• REST, Web Services, SOAP
• High-performance APIs (JSON/XML)
• Payment Processing - Stripe, Braintree, Paypal, Chargify

I also have general experience with:

• Apache
• Linux variants other than Ubuntu
• ElasticSearch, Solr, Sphinx
• MongoDB

Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

Let's make something great together!
