I started programming at 7, learning BASIC on my mom's classroom computer. Aside from a brief stint as a designer in college and a few dark years caused by Perl, I've been programming ever since. Also my the way I've picked up ample devops and UX knowledge.

I help maintain a few gems right now (Hooloo https://github.com/NuckChorris/hooloo , doorkeeper-grants_assertion https://github.com/doorkeeper-gem/doorkeeper-grants_assertio... , sidekiq-debounce https://github.com/NuckChorris/sidekiq-debounce), with a few more in the process of being extracted from the existing codebase of hummingbird.me (namely, libraries for interfacing with MyAnimeList and AnimeNewsNetwork, as well as JSONAPI::Resources integrations with Chewy and Pundit).

I've been working with Rails for 3 years, with a focus on applying UX concepts to API design. I'm looking for a startup that can use my skills and help me develop new ones like native app dev or more thorough functional testing.
