Hey! I've been a professional software developer for over a decade, with experiences in a broad spectrum of industries including oil and gas exploration, real estate, government and education sectors working with a variety of different programming languages. My go to language is Ruby and I've worked on numerous Ruby on Rails applications over the years. I used to be the Head of Ruby Development for a German software company and am the Ruby and Ruby on Rails Instructor at Skillcrush Inc. In my spare time I've co-organized and tutored at multiple RailsGirls events all over Europe. I'm most effecitve in the backend of things but have shipped code all over the stack, on web applications, windows desktop applications as well as on mobile.
