If your backend isn't Rails, you can stop reading.
If you are looking for a ninja, go to Japan or NY storm sewers.

Rails, HTML5, CSS3, Ember, Backbone, Responsive design, SCSS, Coffeescript.

Side projects &#38; open source:
<a href="http://feetlot.com" >http://feetlot.com</a> - Summer 2012, scratching my own itch. To build the shoes database I used several APIs and wrote parsers when there were no APIs.
<a href="http://nabbber.com" >http://nabbber.com</a> - 2010, 4000 users, 18k words added, Zend Framework (I moved to Rails shortly afterwards). Three 'b's? But dribbble was hot back then!
<a href="https://github.com/AlexanderZaytsev/active_model_pusher" >https://github.com/AlexanderZaytsev/active_model_pusher</a> - I believe the bright future of the web is Rails + Ember + websockets. This gem makes it easy to connect Rails with websockets.
<a href="https://github.com/AlexanderZaytsev/human_date" >https://github.com/AlexanderZaytsev/human_date</a> - A gem to help in displaying dates for humans (because I care about users).

I'm really easy to work with.
I know my stuff and improve constantly.
I go through Rails/Ember commits on Github to see what's new before it is announced.
I'm not afraid to say "I don't know."
I prefer the back-end but at the same time I experiment with CSS stuff like vertical rhythm or using single-direction margins. In other words, I'm universal and strive for the best practices in every technology I use.
I almost never use jQuery now because Ember and Backbone, that's why. I know when to use Ember and when to use Backbone. Lots of people don't.
Apart from being good at the technical side, I'm also good at seeing the whole picture. I will help you build a better product. I will scrutinize your ideas and suggest new ones. I will add value to your product.
Get in touch even if you don't have a cool project for me to work on, I love meeting new people.
