A considerate and collaborative developer

Recently updated

The first programming book I read was "Learn Ruby the Hard Way" by Zed Shaw. That, coupled with an interest in graphic design seemed like a gateway into a very enjoyable career where I could be logical and creative! Shortly after, I joined a bootcamp in 2016. I've worked with quite a few frameworks and libraries since 2016. Here's what I've learned: - Ruby is super fun, Rails is not dead, convention-over-configuration is my preference whenever possible. - JavaScript is cool but the front-end world can be exhausting; too much reinventing the wheel and forgetting about web fundamentals. - I enjoy CSS a lot. - Hotwire and Stimulus are a very cool approach to efficiently providing a user with a SPA-like experience - I'm proficient in React but like to keep it simple, sustainable, composable. I strive to find the appropriate balance of simplicity and complexity in order to: - meet the project needs - be considerate of fellow developers who will need to read, understand, work with the code I write - enable Junior devs to step into the codebase and understand/mimic/extend the codebase. Unique Traits: - Trilingual (English, Spanish, French) - Education background (I can mentor Junior devs) Positive Traits: - Passionate about good quality - Tenacious Personal focus: - I've been focused on diving deeper into the Rails ecosystem and my aim is to find a role with a company using Rails + Hotwire, or Rails + React. - Docker NOTE: The link "Website" link in my bio is Github. I'm currently redoing some portfolio projects.

Seasoned Ruby on Rails that focuses on building value for customers

High response rate

Throughout my 15+ years of working as a software developer I sought out different work environments in order to get a feel for the entire software development industry. I started by working at a large consultancy. After learning the basics of working as a team and with clients I decided to take a shot a running my own consultancy. This is when I started Bitpop. During these years I learned about the many positives and negatives of running your own business but more importantly I learned how to really listen to customer needs. My next adventure took me to working at a pure product company (FiveStreet) where I was the first engineer hire and ended up being acquired by Realtor.com. This gave me a different POV on how to develop a product. Finally, I co-founded Cetus Labs and developed Octopi. I was the CTO for a mission critical application that helps the shipping industry track its cargo. We were acquired by Navis where I currently work at as a Director of Engineering. My current responsibilities include managing a team of 10+ remote developers and being one of the senior architects for the platform. I like to collaborate with other developers and discuss ideas before writing code. I believe that balance is the key to a successful product. I see software as a tool to solve problems and increase the bottom line. I believe that there is no perfect code base but we should strive to make it the best possible. I believe that keeping our team happy is as important as keeping customers happy. Other things I enjoy include running around and screaming with my daughter, creating music, astronomy, reading books, imagining stories and movies (if my daughter lets me watch something other than Monsters Inc.).

Source contributor

As a contractor, I have helped several companies implement new features, prototype MVPs, build greenfield apps, clean up technical debt, and standardize the codebase. I am experienced with the full-stack and can also contribute with DevOps (backend) and UI (frontend) implementations. I am an open-source contributor and core member of Bridgetown. Some exciting passion projects I am currently building include a React CMS for Bridgetown, a ViewComponent library for Rails, and an online listing marketplace for my region at centralcoastclassifieds.com. I maintain a tech blog at mugenruby.com and cross-post articles on other blog sites. SKILLS Soft: I’m a great listener and communicator, empathetic towards the users of products I build, organized, adapt quickly to change and manage my time well. Hard: HTML/CSS, JavaScript/StimulusJS/React, Ruby/Rails, ActiveRecord/SQL, Git, AWS S3/SES, Email service providers, Relational data modeling, REST, RSpec/MiniTest, Error Monitoring/debugging, building/implementing APIs and webhooks, Redis, ElasticSearch, Stripe Connect. Projects I have done Built a peer-to-peer marketplace that allows users to search for items to rent from sellers. Sellers are required to connect a bank account via Stripe Connect before being able to create listings. ActionCable-powered chat feature with email reminders and read receipts Location-based searching with Searchkick and Opensearch (ElasticSearch equivalent) Calendar style booking system with confirmation settings and payment system Created an online application process to collect information from applicants looking to join a real estate listing service. Applicants are prompted to pay online, receive status emails, and digitally sign documents. Staff users can manage applications via filtering, updating the status of the application to denote its stage in the process, request payments and signatures, and create events links that are populated and sent out via email. PDF generated with data from the applications filled by users. Generation of PDF triggers actions that involve callbacks, API calls, and emailing users, and ability to download signed PDF via email or UI. Various API calls and listening for web hooks during the digital signing process via Docuseal’s service. Involves uploading pre-filled PDF as a template, calling it again when requested for signature, and listening for an event to indicate it was completed. Stripe Checkout integration with custom line items, redirects, and object instantiation upon successful payments. Built a questionnaire builder that allowed users to create questions organized by custom surveys. Referenced existing Figma screens and translated the user flow into code. Hotwired-heavy frontend with use of Turbo Frames and Turbo Streams. Use of StimuluJS for dynamically adding/removing question fields, tabs, and modals. Designed the data model relations from ground up.

Pragmatic programmer with 6+ years of rails experience

Hello! 👋 I'm a driven software engineer from the Pacific Northwest. I've been writing rails apps for 6+ years in a professional capacity in industries including e-commerce, cybersecurity, e-learning, and house project management. I got my start at a local bootcamp called Epicodus where I spent 40-60 hours a week for 9 months studying rails and various javascript frameworks (and bicycle couriering to pay the bills!). Recently I was working with a company based out of NYC called Rhino that offers a Security Deposit Insurance product making renting more affordable and approachable for many people. Here I have worked on integrating ledger sync with a large 3rd party system called Yardi, updating our payment processing from a bespoke manual solution to a Stripe integration reducing settlement time from over a week to just a few days, and fixed various bugs and introduced features on our ActionCenter which is the core view end users interact with. The ActionCenter is currently written in React, but near the end of my tenure we adopted and built various features using Hotwire. Previous that, I was working with a local e-commerce startup called Dutchie on their Partner Integrations team. Here I helped design and implement a long-standing initiative to upgrade our Hubspot integration so that customers could leverage our data for targeted promotions. I also helped to design and implement an improved customer matching scheme with an acquired partner POS. This feature will improve the checkout experience for thousands of customers. I consider myself a great collaborator, a committed mentor and a pragmatic programmer who enjoys writing idiomatic ruby. These skills make me a great addition to any team, and I look forward to speaking with you about your project. 😊
