I am a dedicated Rails developer with over 5 years of experience in building robust web applications. My journey in tech began with a fascination for coding which quickly evolved into a career driven by a passion for developing scalable and efficient web solutions. In my most recent role, I played a key part in developing a groundbreaking e-commerce platform, showcasing my ability to translate complex requirements into user-friendly functionalities. I pride myself on writing clean, maintainable code and have a keen eye for detail. What sets me apart is my eagerness to continually learn and adapt. I've seamlessly integrated new technologies like React and Vue into various projects, demonstrating my flexibility and commitment to staying at the forefront of web development trends. Collaboration and teamwork are at the core of my professional ethos. I’ve consistently contributed to successful team outcomes, whether through leading a project or supporting colleagues in overcoming technical challenges.

With over 20 years of comprehensive experience in technology and entrepreneurship, I have established a distinctive expertise in software development, specializing in Ruby, Rails, and various JavaScript-based frontend technologies. My journey with Ruby on Rails began in 2006. Over the years, I have developed numerous products, transitioning to freelancing in 2010. As an enthusiast in Rails Development and DevOps, I have played a crucial role in the digital product development for prominent companies, including Moviepilot, Friendticker, DailyDeal, as well as industry leaders like Google and VIACOM. Between 2015 and 2020, I served as a digital consultant for a renowned consulting firm, contributing to projects for global clients across various sectors. My role involved spearheading digital transformations and developing market-leading products, working collaboratively with diverse teams. In 2023, I refocused my efforts on Ruby on Rails, particularly on crafting SPA-like user experiences using advanced technologies such as Hotwire 7, Turbo Frames, Turbo Streams, and the forthcoming MorphDOM features in Hotwire 8.

Writing full stack rails since Ubuntu 6.04. Expert responsive layout, redis, SQL, react, and many more

Since 2006, I've dedicated my career to full-stack Ruby on Rails development, starting with the 0.9b version of Rails and harnessing the full potential of the Rails stack. Over the past decade, I've collaborated with a proficient team of 3 developers to efficiently tackle sizable projects, ensuring swift deliveries. Presently, we are actively seeking new clients and projects, preferably in Ruby on Rails. With clients primarily situated in the US, our collaborative approach involves working closely with a US-based project manager who liaises directly with the clients. We pride ourselves on providing extensive and enduring support to guarantee the ongoing functionality and relevance of our software. Notably, our oldest project, now 12 years running, stands as a testament to our commitment to long-term client satisfaction. In our daily operations, we leverage the complete Rails stack, integrating either PostgreSQL or MySQL. Our development process is meticulous, characterized by well-organized code and comprehensive testing, employing RSpec and Capybara for robust and reliable results.

I pursued this career driven by my passion for solving complex challenges. Whether it's architecting innovative solutions or resolving a tricky encoding issue in a CSV file, the thrill lies in unraveling these puzzles and witnessing the impactful outcomes

I come from an artistic background. I am a composer, and worked the past 10 years in the tattoo industry to make a living. I love creating and solving problems, which maybe is not the first that comes to mind when you think of composition or tattooing, but it was pretty much my life. I started learning code in late 2022 and it quickly became clear that this was the path I wanted to follow, so I decided to completely commit to it and make a drastic career switch. I joined a bootcamp here in Montreal, Le Wagon, where I had a wonderful experience! At Le Wagon I learned how to build rails apps as a full-stack developer, working in teams within the agile methodology. I also learned JavaScript, bootstrap, worked with webpack, and PostgreSQL, amongst other things. I very much enjoyed designing schemes for databases and working on the back-end. At the end of the final sprint each of the team members chose a feature to add to our final app, something we could work on by ourselves; I chose to build a chat room from start to finish. Even though I did finish in time for demo day, I kept on fine tuning and debugging it after the bootcamp was done. It was a super fun and awesome challenge to tackle by myself! Now I am looking for a position that will allow me to grow as a developer in the real world. I want nothing more than to gain experience and learn from those who are further along this path. I love working in back-end. I feel very passionate about being part of a team, I love collaborating. I think creatively and love brainstorming ideas with others. I can bring very good insights to a team. I have great communication skills and my curiosity always leads me to continue learning. My interests are varied, and I dive deep into a subject when I am curious about it, be it within tech, science, music, art, psychology, cats, houseplants, you name it! If you want someone who can connect with a varied group of people and have interesting conversations, I am your gal!

As a seasoned Ruby on Rails developer with a career spanning over a decade, my journey in the development world has been nothing short of exciting and rewarding. I embarked on this path driven by a passion for creating impactful software solutions. One recent milestone that stands out is successfully implementing a fully customised order management system within the Spree Commerce platform. This involved not only mastering the intricacies of Spree but also integrating technologies like Wicked PDF, Sidekiq, and Redis to deliver a seamless and tailored experience. Continuous learning is at the core of my professional ethos. In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, I make it a point to stay ahead by acquiring new skills. My expertise extends beyond conventional web development, encompassing DevOps practices, database management (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Cassandra, MongoDB), and adept use of cloud services like AWS. What sets me apart is not just technical proficiency but a commitment to client and team satisfaction. My ability to contribute to diverse industries, coupled with a knack for problem-solving and efficient project delivery, reflects a unique blend of skills. I find joy in contributing to open-source projects, building Ruby, Rails, and Spree extensions, and always seeking innovative solutions. In essence, I bring a holistic approach to software development. Whether it's crafting clean and efficient code, collaborating seamlessly with cross-functional teams, or navigating complex challenges, my goal is to not just meet expectations but exceed them.
