  Primarily spent my time working on the Makeshift products Bitsy and Savemates. Savemates was built with a SOA. The public facing web app was built in Rails, whilst the services were built using rails-api. Code was written using TDD with RSpec and Capybara. Integrated with Stripe for payments and Sidekiq for background processing. Primarily spent my time working on the Makeshift products Bitsy and Savemates. Savemates was built with a SOA.

  Working with Sidekick Studios and vInspired I developed http://tasksquadhq.com. The app was built using a lean, iterative process with a mobile first, responsive design. Working closely with the designer and product owner we were able to build and iterate on the idea very quickly. Using Rails and MongoDB helped this process greatly.

  Joined the company as the 2nd developer. The test suite was non-existent so I started writing specs in RSpec for existing areas of the site. This was a great way to get up to speed with different areas of the site, whilst also providing value. There was also no support infrastructure for client issues, with a growing cus- tomer base this would be essential. I integrated TenderApp with SSO support and I set up an internal support plan which incorporated account management and developers… Show more Joined the company as the 2nd developer.

There was also no support infrastructure for client issues, with a growing cus- tomer base this would be essential. I integrated TenderApp with SSO support and I set up an internal support plan which incorporated account management and developers to deal with client issues in a timely manner. Due the company’s flat hierarchy I was able to work closely with the CEO to contribute ideas and make a positive impact towards future development. The site was hosted on Slicehost, but due to growth and a lack of a System Admin we decided to move over to a managed platform. I successfully planned and migrated the site over to EngineYard.
