Welcome to my portfolio site. I build websites. I do Ruby and Python.
If you need a webapp built, feel free to contact me.
After being a freelancer for quite a long time, I've accepted a fulltime position as a Python developer in the team of Popego.
Popego is a universal widget that feeds from all the web services you love to use. It can easily be embedded on any blog, forum or website.
We believe that we’ve got a powerful solution for a more open and social web that will unite the fragments of everyone's digital selves. All these while hopefully saying goodbye to logins and logouts (and not keeping you trapped inside the walled gardens of a single website).
Design 21 is the sixth edition of the Design 21 initiative, launched in 1995 by UNESCO and Felissimo Corporation.
Design 21 is comprised of three main sections:
I was hired and flown to Paris by AREA 17, to
gather and lead a team of three Ruby on Rails developers. Scattered in
3 different countries, the team was able to launch the site in less
than 3 months.
Madame Figaro is one of the leading fashion magazines in France. I was part of the team of 4 developers that implemented its new website in a 3 months timeframe using Ruby on Rails.
My main tasks included the development of a system for generating the user interface for the backend, frontend controllers, general optimization and deployment of the application in the server cluster
According to its creator, the CSS Reboot is a community project put on by WebJillion that tries to bring web professionals from all over the world together to simultaneously launch redesigns of their sites and blogs
The CSS Reboot site was rebuilt from scratch for the Spring 2006 edition, this time using Ruby on Rails.
The CSS Reboot is no longer owned by Webjillion
CyberPromo is an automated artist promotions tool that sends artist's information (in the form of a electronic press kit), links artist's sites, and one MP3, to online Resources for musician's including Internet Radio stations, online music magazines, bloggers, podcasters and directories.
CyberPromo matches bands to a database of over 10,000 resources based on different criteria including genres, region and tour dates.
TracksLife was conceived to help people keep track of anything that can be represented with a spreadsheet/database that combine columns of money, numbers, paragraphs and boolean values.
Implemented with Ruby on Rails and MySQL. I wrote the server side code and the Javascript for AJAX functionality
TracksLife is no longer owned by Webjillion
Adam contacted me with the task of setting up a Rails hosting environment in a VPS in Slicehost, for his latest personal project, Design Deadline
The site is now running on a couple of Mongrels behind nginx, all under the watchful eye of monit.
Right after launching Madame Figaro, Michel Martens and I were approached by AREA 17; GOOD Magazine's website was about to launch and it needed some optimization love. Our tasks were to implement the same caching system that was built for Madame Figaro, set up and configure the application and web servers and write a deployment script using Capistrano.
I have expert level knowledge of Ruby, Python and PHP. I know my way around Java, and did a couple C#/.NET projects.
I'm more comfortable when working on a Linux or Mac workstation.
