I've worked in back-end software engineering for almost
a decade. AWS, Go, Ruby on Rails, SQL, and DevOps are
among my skills, with a focus on scalable cloud
infrastructure and clean API architecture.
I build my apps with a strong emphasis on function over form, as I'm more of a backend developer. This means that the apps have a simple appearance, but they get done quickly enough.
Some of the features I've implemented for my own and client's apps have been:
- Play different sounds depending on response from server
- Import data from Zoho Docs (via API)
- Import data from Google Docs
- Import data from an Excel file
- File downloads (for the user or for data import to server)
- Geo-caching via Ruby Geocoder gem and Geocod.io, find the nearest address in the database to a user
- Background Job Scheduling. Useful for complex calculations or things that can wait, so the user doesn't have to.
- Send emails via MailGun
- Created a Ruby Gem
- Data import automation via Zapier
- Data searching/filtering/sorting via AJAX (no page reload)
- Search, Sort and Paginate via Ransack and Kaminari gems
- Automated testing and specs with Rspec and Capybara.
