Working With Rails

I’ve been building rails intranet applications for just over a year now, three for a large college in London and one complex cost management tool for a construction company.

At the moment I’m building a rails website for a fashion company which is my first e-commerce website. It’s interesting that technology wise it’s by far the simplest of the sites I’ve built, intranets sites have to do a lot more than websites, but because it looks cool (the Look & Feel weren’t designed by me) it seems to generate the most interest.

I’m a very good communicator, I get on well with most people I meet and I come from a non-IT background. I used to be a Civil Engineer. I like Rails because its speed of development allows me to get involved with clients & the business of what we’re trying to achieve whilst also playing a direct role in development.
