What I'm looking for

I enjoy developing, especially with Ruby on Rails, but increasingly enjoy performing code reviews and working more removed from coding. System design and management are interesting to me, and I have past experience in a hiring role which I enjoyed.

I am a developer with close to a decade of Ruby on Rails experience. I have also worked with python (Tornado). In the past I have worked in ad-tech, in both technical and non-technical roles, including a failed startup attempt.

While coding outside work, I build animatronic birds with Raspberry Pi, am working on hyperlocal weather prediction models using Pytorch, and sailing analytics using Jupyter.
