Acrobyte Services

Acrobyte Logo

I'm a Ruby on Rails contractor based in Reading, UK — commutable to London.

I've been delivering web projects for 15+ years, working with UK Government departments and startups.

I provide my services through my company, Acrobyte Ltd.

Projects

Some of the teams I've worked with:

UK Government:

  • LAA (Legal Aid Agency)
  • HMRC (Trade Tariff project)
  • Ministry of Justice
  • Department of Education

Startups:

  • Funding Circle — peer-to-peer lending
  • Smart Pension — online pensions and investment
  • Workshare (acquired by Litera) — document sharing and collaboration

How I work

I'm available as a Software Engineer contractor. If you have a Ruby or Ruby on Rails project that needs support, get in touch and tell me about the role.

I adapt to the team's way of working — Scrum, Kanban, or as a solo developer.

My main stack is Ruby on Rails. I also have experience with Python and am actively expanding in that direction.

I contract through my own limited company, Acrobyte Ltd, or via umbrella company if required by IR35.

I'm usually available to start within two to three weeks.

Location

I am based in Reading, UK — happy to commute to London once a week if needed.
