Recent Imperial MSc graduate with significant Rails experience

New profile

I've recently switched career, but have built up broad experience of Rails applications and web dev more generally from a variety of personal and voluntary projects over the past ten years. What motivates me as an engineer is the potential real-world impact of solving users' problems tactically: for example, my MSc individual project was an experimental version control system in Rust tracking syntactic changes to source, to improve the accuracy and scope of automatic conflict resolution, and so reduce the hurdles to getting working code into production. I'm very comfortable working with many languages and frameworks, and always keen to broaden my knowledge, but have long been especially passionate about Rails and Ruby. A multi-year project for a student society to build a complete conference management solution in Rails means I now have significant experience of almost all areas of the framework and levels of the stack, including testing and deployment strategies, and understand the tools and approaches available to me and their associated tradeoffs. Before the MSc I was a linguist, and so have much experience of independent research and self-directed projects from the academic world—as well as clear and concise technical explanations to non-specialists, and effective and persuasive technical writing. I don't wait to find out what I need to know to make progress, and am always willing to consider innovative approaches to problems on their own merits.

Senior dev specialising in clean, maintainable code and keeping tech debt low

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 for teams to read, understand and maintain. 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). On the front end, I have experience both with Rails' native toolset and with ReactJS, Next.js and React Native. I also have experience of platform-native toolsets such as SwiftUI to deliver applications that feel intrinsically like part of the user’s mobile experience. 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.

Full-stack developer eager to contribute in a commercial setting.

I am a dynamic and determined full-stack developer who embarked on a transformative journey to pursue my passion for technology. Formerly a tax advisor trainee, I took a bold leap to enrol in the intensive Le Wagon full-time 2-month web development bootcamp. This pivotal decision allowed me to transition into the world of web development and unleashed my creativity and problem-solving skills. My fascination with technology extends beyond coding. I possess hands-on experience in planning and building high-end desktop computers, showcasing my comprehensive understanding of both hardware and software aspects. This technical foundation has proved invaluable in my journey towards becoming a well-rounded full-stack developer. Throughout the bootcamp, I actively participated in the development of multiple web applications, collaborating within a team environment. Using Ruby on Rails, I engaged in every stage of the development process, from conceptualization to deployment. My proficiency spans both front-end and back-end development. On the front end, I enjoy crafting user-friendly web pages using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, and Ajax. Meanwhile, on the back end, I use Ruby to implement CRUD operations and search functionality, ensuring seamless user experiences. I am eager to bring my skills and passion for development to a promising team, contributing to impactful projects and furthering my knowledge. Currently, I am expanding my skill set by delving into React.js, aiming to enhance my capabilities and stay at the forefront of web development trends. I am excited about the prospect of contributing to innovative projects and gaining valuable commercial experience with a forward-thinking team.
