Overview
Résumé
Work History & Feedback (10)
Tests (5)
Portfolio (3)
Over the past 5 years, I have developed a wide range of applications mostly in java using a variety of MVC frameworks Jboss Seam, struts, etc. 3 years ago I discovered Ruby and Rails and have been using them wherever corporate policy allows; which is usually only for small applications, prototypes and the occasional script.
I'd like to continue learning more about Ruby and Rails; however, to do so I need projects of increasing complexity.
