I'm mostly focused on efficiently making small web applications for personal, rapid prototyping, internal-use only, MVP or proof of concept purposes. 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. Background: I'm regularly picking up new skills and APIs. I'm looking to pitch in on interesting projects as a rails developer with experience across the stack. I've several years experience working in Silicon Valley startups as a product manager and now developer so I know exactly what it's like to both define and build products. I'm comfortable building with Ruby, Rails, HTML, CSS, Javascript, some Node.js, and I have a B.S. in Industrial and Systems Engineering and having been doing entrepreneurial web development for 10 years. I am a full-stack web developer specializing in back-end development with Python frameworks (Django and Flask). I am also proficient with Ruby on Rails. I have worked with many small startups as well as Fortune 50 companies in capacities ranging from developer to product manager. I have extensive experience building and interacting with RESTful API's, data modeling, and project management. I'm very friendly, easy to talk to, and easy to work with. I can tackle any Ruby tasks that you need. I can write anything from small Ruby scripts to full-blown Web applications. My code is clean, readable, and regularly refactored. TESTING IS A HIGH PRIORITY IN MY WORK, NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT. I WILL WORK FOR A LOWER RATE FOR GOOD CAUSES.

Developers that are cheaper are often less experienced and less skilled. They might
