I’m a contract Ruby developer who also does interim CTO/tech lead type things! Most recently I've been working with charity clients and local government. However my company works with clients all shapes and sizes.

Hi, I'm Danny and I am an experienced Ruby on Rails developer and technical leader. Having worked with some of the best/most well known Ruby/Rails companies (most recently Cookpad for 5+ years), I have an detailed understanding of Ruby/Rails best practice, working at scale and what makes software development teams thrive. I have extensive experience with Ruby, Rails, Stimulus, JS, Tailwind, MySQL, Postgres, Kafka and numerous other technologies. I come with a long history of managing teams and projects, from smaller 8 person teams as EM/Lead Developer to 75 person engineering organisations. I can help you with: Ruby/Rails/JS development Levelling up your current team Developing/implementing your company best practices and documentation Managing your team (1-1's, career development) I am passionate about business and product development and enjoy working with product counterparts to develop roadmaps, conduct user interviews and scope projects. I am a well rounded individual who "gets things done".

I'm a web developer with over two decades of experience. I enjoy using Ruby and associated web development frameworks such as Rails. I'm interested in best-practice behaviour/domain-driven design, having suffered by both the absence of test suites and the diminishing returns of poorly designed/maintained ones. I'm passionate about clear and concise communication in all media. I have run my own freelance web development business since 2005. A career highlight was being Senior Developer for the team behind Comic Relief's 'On the Night' donations platform, which handled millions of pounds of donations in a few hours, via a highly available multi-region Cloudfoundry deployment on AWS.

I'm a full-stack Rails developer (although recent projects have concentrated on API-only backends with ReactJS front ends managed by different teams). I've been working with Rails for over 10 years (since version 3.x) and have specialised in making code bases that are easy to read, understand and maintain by teams. Key to those goals are: using standardised code styles (ensuring RuboCop and the team's practices are perfectly aligned) writing well-structured, easy-to-understand and fast tests constructive and collaborative code reviews ensuring documentation, from git histories to READMEs and other materials (online and offline) records useful, meaningful information that can be easily kept up to date and in sync with any code changes I've recently been adding GraphQL to my skill set, which also includes PostgreSQL, ElasticSearch, Redis and other languages (Swift, PHP, JavaScript, and more). I've worked on projects of various sizes, from scheduling and booking software for a major tech training company to systems allowing TV distributors to sell thousands of hours of programming all over the world. Ideally I'm looking to work on products with which I can feel personally invested – an exciting product or tech-for-good project would definitely suit me better than a fintech role.
