I'm a highly experienced freelanced developer and author. Specificially, I've got extensive experience with Rails development, including a lot of hard programming with tight deadlines; I've worked with Thoughtbot on Sermo's America's Top Doctor contest, I've spoken about software development at conferences, I've worked with The Casting Frontier on their online submissions system, and much more - in short, a lot of software development experience in general and Rails in particular. In fact, I wrote the computer programming books Practical Rails Plugins, Practical Reporting with Ruby on Rails, and others; I've also written for a number of magazines, including PHP International Magazine, Linux Pro Magazine,and others. I'm native to Greater Boston, and work with clients all over the country - usually remotely.
