Working With Rails

I’m a Web Entrepreneur and Saas Rich Internet Application developer.

My latest launch is HaystackHire.com (US) / Haystack.fr (FR), a fully featured yet simple-to-use Applicant Tracking System / Recruiting software for SMBs.

I have been designing, developing and launching web sites and web applications since 2000.

While my main field of competence lies in software engineering for web based applications, I also have solid hands-on experience in server setup and administration, Mysql database optimization and front-end usability and interaction.

I have implemented several Online Guerilla marketing strategies with multiple twitter feeds, blogs and online contributions to LinkedIn groups and blogs with a focus on SEM and SEO.

I have managed small teams of software developers using Scrum / Agile processes.

On the software side I moved from PHP to Ruby on Rails in 2008. I mostly use Ruby on Rails to develop complex web applications. Not so much for simple web sites.

A frequent practitioner of TDD and the whole suit of tools that go with it (Git, Rspec, Cucumber, and so forth)
