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.).

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.
