SEEKING WORK

Location: Washington DC and remote

I'm a software engineer specializing in designing and building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Currently, I'm helping clients with dev ops problems like setting up web apps to scale for 10x more traffic, profiling/optimizing slow code paths, and building analytics pipelines with AWS.

Before that, I was a principal engineer at Vox Media, and worked on some notable projects:

- Simultaneously upgraded their 81k LOC monolith to Ruby 2.1 and Rails 3.2 with no downtime http://product.voxmedia.com/2014/5/29/5759244/vox-media-ruby...

- Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events http://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-sy...

- Converted all image processing to Thumbor (https://github.com/thumbor), and scaled it to resize 1.3 million images a day

SEEKING WORK - New York/Brooklyn, NY or remote

I'm a full stack web developer with over five years of experience turning ideas into production apps. My clients have been startups, agencies, big companies and non-profits, examples include the New York Times, Cleversafe, Planted and Charitybuzz. I prefer writing Ruby and using Rails on the server side but I have also built apps using Ruby with Sinatra and Python with Django or Flask and node.js with Express. I prefer Angular.js for client side apps, though I have also used Ember.js. I'm a good communicator and one of my favorite recent professional experiences was tutoring a beginner programmer in web development (now he's a fulltime dev). In addition to development I also do UX design.

Recent projects include: A custom CMS built with Rails for the New York Times Conferences series, UX and Django app for scheduling test suite runs at Cleversafe, a Sinatra + clientside JS application for an international study abroad non-profit.
