Personal details

About me

  • I am an experienced Ruby developer who had sucessfully deployed variety of Rails applications. I also worked on distributed applications using EventMachine and ZeromMQ. I love using open-source solutions on daily basis and contributed to number of them. My priority is to deliver applications meeting bussines requirements that are profoundly well tested.

    Although Ruby is my passion and first choice when it comes to programming languages I try not to limit myself. We see every day that webdevelopment requires more and more complicated solutions on frontend. For that CoffeeScript with bunch of JavaScript libraries can do the job. Sometimes you might even need tight integration with browsers. I have developed extensions for Chrome and Firefox.

    I always try hard to share my knowledge with coworkers and learn from them as much as possible.

    You can hire me as a contractor for a limited number of hours per week. I can develop as well as review code. Please contact me if you have any questions.
