After ten years commercial experience in web application development, I've gone free range. This has increased my opportunities to work with other great developers on interesting projects. I'm currently focussed on Ruby on Rails.
available for projects
I recently accepted an invitation to join Jamis and Ezra on the core team of the open source Capistrano project. I was honoured to be invited and am looking forward working together. oh, and to meeting face to face at RailsConf2007 later this week!
I'm also open to paid work. I live in Melbourne, Australia but am comfortable working remotely.
If you've got an interesting software project that needs an experienced Ruby/Rails developer, get in touch.
