Web Application Development

Ruby_logo I specialize in developing data-centric web applications using modern tools such as Ruby on Rails and other Ruby web frameworks. I've been building web applications since 2002 using mostly PHP and MySQL. As of early 2007, I have switched almost entirely to Ruby on Rails after appreciating the immense power as Ruby as a software building tool and Rails as a productive framework.
