I'm offering
Problem solving is more than part of my profession, it's a passion and way of life for me. I've always enjoyed programming but ultimately it's the problem solving and being able to see a bigger picture, as well as coming up with ways to get there, that is what I truly thrive on. I spend a lot of my spare time learning new things and developing my skills in general to further improve the way I see and solve old and new problems. I'm primarily a contractor, so my time, in-between contracts, is typically spent working on my existing skills or picking up new ones.

job
Senior Ruby Engineer
mGage.
I was brought onboard to help finish off the development of their new platform, as a lot of the work had already been done but was neglected in regards to testing and confirming that we had was fit for purpose and ready for release.
My task was to help facilitate this progression along with introducing improvements to the way the company works and delivers new functionality.
I spent most of my time pairing and coaching the junior developer, who started around the same time as I, helping him to pick up some of the techniques
required to become a more experienced developer.
This role didn't just require strong Ruby, Architecture and Ops skills but it also required the ability to self priorities and be a self starter.
I completed this contract by leaving the company with QA/Staging & Production environments along with a clear path as to how to get the project live.

Money Advice Service.
Free & impartial money advice, set up by government
Built and maintained various tools created to assist the public in becoming more informed about their finances. This included building various Rails engines and mounting them to the main Rails application using Puppet and Go.
I also worked on the backend of Dough, a Rails helper gem, which was used to drive out Money Advice accessibility and style guides. I engineered the main
helper to rely on a standardised template path. Allowing for frontend developers to be the ones to decide on helper names. Which made sense as they were the ones to use them.

job
Ruby/DevOps Engineer
Nature Publishing Group.
Nature Publishing Group is an international publishing company that publishes academic journals, magazines, online databases, and services in science and medicine
Worked on a number of Ruby and Rails projects including the new platform for creating and curating journals. I was part of a 6 person team, comprising of 4
developers, 2 designers and a QA.
We worked on the platform that was going to use an in-house API, which was in the process of being developed also, and worked with the team developing an
API to deliver a system that journal owners could use to create and curate their own journals with.
As the platform was quite large it allowed us to work on a wide range of features. Such as the automatic curation of articles, automated journal RSS feeds,
extraction of article data from Marklogic, the generation of journals based on published articles.
In this role I mainly used Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, Cucumber, Rspec, Puppet, Webistrano, Vagrant and Jenkins.
