SEEKING WORK - SF Peninsula (not San Francisco itself). Onsite preferred, remote ok after getting to know the team.
Ruby on Rails since 2007. Very experienced, full stack developer. (Ruby, MySQL, Postgres, business logic, user interface, HTML+CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Angular, Bootstrap, etc.)
Rails Performance is one specialty of mine (newly-published course: Rails 4.1 Performance Fundamentals, <a href="http://pluralsight.com/training/Courses/TableOfContents/rails-4-1-performance-fundamentals" >). Last 2 engagements I made huge improvements in site speed. 10-20x faster for one set of pages. I made the other client's site faster than all its competitors.
What I bring to the table: easy to work with; happy to work onsite side-by-side with your team; using Rails since v1.2; 26 years experience at both big &amp; small companies, most of those years in very senior developer roles; good at training others; rigorous; tested code.
Background: Have consulted to Wildfire, UserTesting, Lytro, GoDaddy. Bachelor's in Computer Science from UC Berkeley. Staff Software Engineer at Intuit for 12 years. Tech Lead on QuickBooks UI code. Principal Technical Staff at Oracle for six years.
