I am a skilled Ruby developer, specialising in designing and coding web solutions.
I collaborate with many UK government departments and startups, providing support especially on Ruby/Ruby on Rails projects – which are used extensively by the UK government and many startups.
I provide my services through my company, Acrobyte Ltd.
Projects
I have collaborated on many mid-sized and large Web projects. Some of the most significant are:
UK Government:
- LAA (Legal Aid Agency)
- HMRC (Trade Tariff project)
- Ministry of Justice
- Department of Education
Startups:
- Funding Circle: UK-based peer-to-peer lending company
- Smart Pension: online pensions and investment
- Workshare (acquired by Litera): document sharing and collaboration
How I can help
If you are a recruiter (internal or external), or a manager that wants to grow their team, you can hire me as a Software Engineer contractor.
Contact me and tell me about the needs of your customer's project.
I usually work in a two-week sprint agile style, focusing on delivering the features that give the most value to the users.
I also focus on training junior developers on Ruby technologies. There is a need for more Ruby developers. There are so many projects to maintain and ideas to realise.
That's why I am happy to train junior developers who know a language like Java or Python and need to transition to Ruby to support their companies and challenge themselves to learn a new language and framework.
Ruby is often considered a simple language. But there is much more than knowing the syntax.
To mention the essential skills of a junior Ruby developer, they must have:
- good Ruby language knowledge
- basics of Object Oriented Programming
- basics of Ruby on Rails
- RESTful APIs
- relational databases and ActiveRecord
- basics of Test Driven Development
Location
I am based in Reading (UK), working from Thames Valley Park.
