I have been working as Senior Developer on Inkling Markets, a prediction market platform and one of the older Rails apps around, for over two years. In a high-traffic, complex environment I have lead development of new features while continually improving and maintaining the existing architecture and code base. My day-to-day activities include providing customer support, turning ideas into back and front-end code, collaborating on designs, and deploying new releases. I also developed and support a "Licensed / On Premise" installable version of the software now used by many large institutions in their own datacenter.

Whenever is an open-source tool for managing cron jobs. It provides a clean DSL for writing cron jobs that is much easier to remember than cron's native syntax and comes with a built-in Capistrano recipe to make deploying them a breeze. Whenever has quickly grown in popularity and is one of the most watched projects on github.

I worked as lead developer on TutorSource, an application that helps students find local tutors and helps tutors manage their business online. Technical highlights include geographical searching, payment processing both incoming and outgoing, and use of Amazon web services. It appears to be down now (I'm no longer involved), but google has many pages cached to view.
