I worked with Salvatore for 18 months on a complex single page web application. Salvatore is an amazing software developer, an expert Ruby developer, with all around knowledge of programming, technologies and development tools. Salvatore is the go-to person of the team for all things related to Ruby, Ruby on Rails, Redis, command line, server management (such as AWS), and database management. He is very well organized, works really fast, always coordinates with teammates, and consistently delivers great results. These qualities make him a key player and a valuable asset to any software and web development team.

      I was responsible of designing and leading the development for their security system platform that provides automated threat forensics and dynamic malware protection. I was mainly focused on backend development, including scouting and choosing technologies and ensuring that they all worked together throughout the entire stack. The most challenging part was to set up the testing infrastructure in order to speed up development and release. I personally introduced them to code reviews, code coverage, unit testing, acceptance testing and performance metrics into the project. I also brought up continuous development and deployment practices in the team, where none had existed before. Some of the technologies we leveraged include: C/C++, Ruby, RSpec, EventMachine, RabbitMQ and MongoDB I really enjoyed working with the team and we managed to get to the stage of PoC for the entire architecture in a pre-production environment.

I'm proud to have been part of the very initial team for migrating the app to a Service-Oriented architecture with Web APIs by following Agile methodologies, practices and tools.

      I was hired to help re-write a mystery shopping platform with over 30,000 users and the ability to produce more accurate results in real time. I was a leader of a small but very dedicated team of people and rigorously followed Agile development methodologies to help achieve this. I introduced Ruby on Rails framework and software engineering best practices, such as Test Driven Development (TDD), Behavior Driven Development (BDD), refactoring and design patterns. I was also responsible of their Linux services, such as web server (Apache, nginx), email (Postfix, Dovecot 2, SASL), database (Mysql, PostgreSQL), SCM (svn), security (Packet Filter) backup and fault tolerance (Bacula, RAID 1) Show less
