SEEKING WORK - Remote

I'm a Ruby developer based in London, looking for contract work to go alongside my part-time work at a successful YC startup and my undergraduate studies.

I love working in Rails, and have particularly outstanding experience building Twilio applications, from whole-company phone systems to small SMS services. I spoke about a cloud-based phone system I built at Twilio's European conference in 2013.

Apart from that, I have plenty of general Ruby experience, working with clients from charities to web hosting companies. I'm not afraid to work in Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3, and am happy to negotiate on price to find an arrangement that works for you.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE

I am a Web developer (AngularJS, PHP, studying RoR) based in Manchester, UK. I am looking for contract work, alongside with my undergrad studies (graduating in July).

I have worked with local startups, remote agencies and with clients directly and I have worked with wide range of projects, from proof-of-concept prototypes as a solo developer to large (6+ months) projects from scratch with a team of developers.

I believe that software engineering is not only about writing code. I am always eager to become more productive, constantly improve the quality of the products by improving my non-technical skills, "Pragmatic Programmer" is one of my favourite books ever!

Recently I have been working a lot on Single-Page Applications, being responsible for both front end and underlying RESTful API.

In the last half a year, I have completed a business critical application for small business which is used daily to complete vital tasks and improve staff efficiency. I have also worked on a healthy restaurants recommendation app (HTML5 + AngularJs application compiled with PhoneGap), custom application to manage shop orders, and others.

Here is a list of some of the projects I have been working on in the last half a year: http://gedrap.me/projects.html

Drop me an email at gediminas.rap@gmail.com and we can talk how I could help you!
