Working With Rails

Jim Meyer (aka purp) is a relative newcomer to both Ruby and Rails and blames them for his sleep deficit dating back to May of ‘07. He’s particularly delighted to join a community where agility is valued, iteration is key, and testing is cool.

With a career that’s ranged from freelance graphic design to large scale distributed computing systems architecture to leading technology organizations large and small, Jim is a renaissance man, a geek of all trades, or (most likely) an advanced case of ADD in search of the next challenging distraction. Along the way, he’s founded a graphic design studio, built technology groups and solutions for the likes of Disney and DreamWorks, met many interesting people and had a metric ton of fun.

Jim is the father of two and husband of one, all three of whom make him a better person on a daily basis.
