Senior Full Stack Rails Developer with 25+ years experience

Recently updated

I became a full-time developer 20+ ago and have worked with a wide variety of languages and frameworks and held many roles. I started using Ruby and Rails in 2005 and it's by far my preferred toolkit. I enjoy working with legacy code bases and upgrading and improving them. I've spent a great deal of time on such tasks. My first project was a publishing solution for a major US shipping magazine called Pacific Shipper using AppleScript as the glue. It had everything: a GUI, import and export modules, networking, database interaction and Web publishing via ColdFusion. It was a wizard-driven conversion tool for porting a digital print file to a Web site. Along the way I got to experience most challenges facing a young and inexperienced developer, including how to interact with end users and product owners, bug fixes, deployment and versioning and more. The classic learn-as-you-go scenario. Since then, I went into ASP, Java (J2EE, JSP), build and deploy tooling, Struts and finally landing on Ruby and Rails in 2006. This has been by far my preferred toolkit since then. I have a passing acquaintance with iOS and Android development as well though would need a refresher. Having worked almost exclusively on the backend of things, with the arrival of Rails 8 I have happily re-entered the frontend domain and find it very rewarding. I consider myself a life-long learner and have over the years picked up useful soft skills, having worked in many diverse situations. I've lived and worked in many geographic location as well and am native in English, Swedish and German, fluent in French. In the past I have contributed to most phases of product development, from concept and wire framing to server setup. I've spent a significant amount of time in e-commerce and content management systems. I enjoy seeing a project from a high level perspective, rather than starting at a database schema level: outside in rather than inside out. I consider myself a pragmatist and will not by default try to build everything myself if a reasonable alternative exists. By the same token, I'm in favour of carefully curating and vetting libraries to include in a project. I prefer to move with a purpose and shipping often rather than sitting on a feature until it's "perfect". I have no bias against working with legacy code, in fact I enjoy it! Spelunking is a a great way to learn and understand.

I also possess strong skills in various other programming languages, including Python, Node.js, JavaScript, and Java. My passion for technology goes beyond conventional web development. I'm well-versed in mobile app development, having worked with Android, Flutter, and even creating interactive HTML5 games with Phaser. My diverse skill set allows me to tackle a wide range of software projects. What sets me apart is my commitment to clean, maintainable, and highly readable code. Ruby on Rails, in particular, has been my tool of choice, as it not only enhances my productivity but also ensures codebase elegance. In the ever-evolving world of web development, staying agile and adaptable is essential. As a Full Stack Engineer, I thrive in both front-end and back-end domains. My experience extends to crafting responsive web designs, using tools like Bootstrap, HTML5, and CSS3. I am proficient in popular front-end frameworks, such as React, Vue, Ember.js, and Lightning.

I am a passionate, driven, and determined Full Stack Developer.

I found my passion for programming at a young age when I took part in an enrichment program at Northwestern University. During my time as a student, I completed a robotics course and Scratch I & II programming courses. It was then I realized the entire process of creation brings me exuberant joy. The versatility of tech and the ability to instruct my computer to carry out certain tasks and commands that are directly responsible for the creation of webpages, apps, games, and so many other endless opportunities never fails to amaze me. I would describe myself as a well-rounded individual. Throughout my professional career, I have worked in a variety of positions where I acquired many skills from event planning and hosting to records management. On a more personal note, I have taken up many hobbies and I had the opportunity to participate in many enriching programs. My hobbies include, traveling abroad, crocheting, photography, reading, ballet dancing, as well as reading, writing, and speaking a limited amount of Korean. Through those opportunities and experiences, I was also able to hone my leadership and creativity skills. I found two common interests across the board; creating and helping others. My love for tech reignited because of my hobby of crocheting. What crocheting and coding have in common is that you start with an empty canvas and minimal tools. Both require you to use your critical thinking skills, imagination, and creativity to create a product or solution. Crochet patterns are algorithms just as computer programs are implemented algorithms. Learning and working directly with software is just the first step towards making a great impact in the tech industry and on society as a whole. My goal is to positively impact people’s lives through tech. For the next step in my career, I am seeking a hands-on tech role as a Junior Full Stack Developer, video game developer, or QA engineer.
