About

Who

I am a senior developer in Melbourne, Australia. I have spent two decades building accounting and business systems at Digitech Corporation, and a good deal of my own time building things that are useful to exactly one person: me.

What I work with

Ruby and Rails are home. Around them: Hotwire, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kamal, and a long tail of older systems - Informix 4GL among them - that still run real businesses.

  • Backend Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, RSpec, Python, Informix 4GL
  • Frontend Hotwire, TypeScript, React, Angular
  • Infrastructure Docker, Kamal, Ansible, AWS, GCP
  • Data PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, SQLite, Informix

Outside work

Bike riding, electronics and squash. I ran the Melbourne Linux Users Group as president from 2005 to 2018, and I still turn up to Melbourne Ruby, RailsCamp and RubyRetreat.

Reaching me

The resume has the details. Email is the reliable route.
