SEEKING WORK - Remote or Toronto
I am a human/machine interface designer &amp;&amp; developer. My work consists of "from scratch" UX and interface design, from the napkin to nginx.
I have considerable experience with Ruby and Javascript, years of experience with Rails, and extensive knowledge of client-side MVC. I've made contributions to Ember.js, and have written multiple 10k+ LOC apps - starting with 0.9 up to the latest 1.0 RC 6.1 (one was recently featured on Venture Beat: <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/07/22/uniiverse-releases-direct-payments-so-anyone-can-sell-tickets-to-anything/" >). I am acutely aware of the challenges/strategies associated with migrating server side architecture into the browser, leaning down views, and fattening up controllers.
I am the author of an open source project called Quantify (<a href="https://github.com/jdjkelly/quantify" >) - a Rails API to track "quantified self" data from every manufacturer willing to give it up. My work here was featured on The Verge alongside a similar project by the founder of Foursquare (<a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/6/4/4392996/fitness-tracker-data-platforms-launch-giving-users-control" >)
