Working With Rails

Hi, my name is Jérôme Gravel-Niquet and I’m a 20-year-old passionate web developer. I’ve been doing this since I was 13 years old and I intend to still be doing it for a long time. Throughout my career, the creativity and the need to perfect my skills have been fueled by my inextinguishable curiosity. I’ve touched a myriad of different fields of work in the last few years, from web design to computer troubleshooting, fiddling with many different programming languages and the ever-changing trends of user interfaces design.

Learning has been the major building block of my life. I’m self-taught and I exhibit quite some success with my own learning methods. I’m going to be completely honest: I don’t have any academic education in computer related fields (apart from various courses scattered here and there in high school and college.) Hopefully, my work speaks for itself when it comes to skills. I’ve only learned from experimentation. Over the years, I have produced over 400 mock-ups/designs/code snippets, each one of these was better than the previous. The aggregation of all my work to this day represents the vast knowledge I possess in web development and moreover, the Internet. As I read each day 150+ feeds, few dozens of people on twitter and books on web development, I’m keeping myself on the cutting-edge of web technologies.

As of my career plans, I have many. I’m mainly interested in analyzing, problem solving and research in the web development field, but I also don’t mind doing more basic work such as UI design and programming if it can lead me to a better position. Working hard and surpassing my work everyday are two of my qualities, I’m very hard on myself, I like it when it’s perfect. All I need is a motivating job and passionate people to work with, I expect no less from others than meeting my own high standards.
