Ruby on Rails

Since 2022 I've been working with Ruby on Rails and have fully fallen in love with both the language and the framework. I have experience with many core Rails gems and features (e.g the asset pipeline) and have worked with too many project-specific, third-party gems to count.

I also have experience with deploying and maintaining Rails projects through Heroku, Cloud66, and AWS.

Specific skills:

Greenfield project design and implementation
Working on enterprise software with its own Rails API and gems
Extensive experience working with a variety of gems (e.g. Devise)
I've actually read the Rails Guides documentation in its entirety. Honest.

React

I have 2-3 years' experience in React, having used it for my university thesis project (LEMA) as part of the MERN stack (for which I won an award from the respected Institution of Analysts and Programmers), as well as at my previous jobs.

Additionally, I liked to use React for any other project that I could while at university, finding it to be a great way to rapidly develop front-end web applications.

Node.js

Node.js is steadily becoming an inextricable tool of the modern web developer, and is utilised by tech stacks such as Ruby on Rails, MERN, and many more.

As one might expect, I've spent much of my time at university working with Node.js, including for hobby projects, and also have some limited experience using it in industry.
