Ruby

The Ideas of Garrett Motzner, Programming Ninja

I love beautiful code, and things that just work, and make life easier, instead of adding additional complications. So that's the code I strive to write.  I'm always looking for a better way to do things, and always learning. Some of the tools I use to make better work are: Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Angular.js, Backbone.js, Jquery, Meteor, Test Driven Development (you have to test anyway, better to make the process automated), my Mac, and all the information I can find from the Ruby and Javascript Communities.

What I'm Doing

I'm excited to be starting work at Quick Left in Boulder! Quick Left builds mobile and web apps for startups and established businesses. The team has some of the best Ruby and Rails developers in the boulder area, and I get to be a part of that and contribute to some top-notch apps! If you need a web app for your business, give us a call.

Projects I'm Looking For

If you know of or maintain any open-source projects related to Ruby, Rails, Node.Js, Javascript Front-End Frameworks, iOS Development, or other projects related to web development that could use contributors, be sure to send me an email and let me know what I can do to contribute. I love to give back to the open-source community, and would be glad to help with debugging, writing new features or documentation, or pretty much anything else an innovative project with a shortage of developers might need.

Technologies I'm Interested in

Nowhere near an exhaustive list, but these are the main technologies I currently spend most of my time with:

  • Ruby
  • Rails
  • Sinatra
  • Api Design (Including Hypermedia REST apis)
  • Responsive Web Design
  • OO Design Paterns
  • Node.js
  • Web Sockets and Streaming
