ABOUT ME

Ruby on Rails developer, 15+ years web dev. experience, Heroku for production apps

Creator of the "Become a Heroku Rails Ninja" course at Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/become-a-heroku-rails-ninja/

Co-Founder at Icoms Technologies (http://icoms.co) and Lead Platform Architect for Kamio (http://kam.io), the platform that powers photo manipulation mobile apps such as The Walking Dead Dead Yourself app, which has been the #1 app on the iTunes AppStore and has surpassed 8 million downloads. The platform runs completely on Heroku and has been able to support intense traffic and load spikes.

Over the last 15 years I have worked on a variety of projects as a consultant, developing web applications for large companies and small startups. I also have developed several personal projects and prototypes for startup ideas of my own, most of which I host on Heroku as well.

I have been developing dynamic database driven web applications since 1999, initially with PHP & MySQL and since 2006 started working with Ruby On Rails.

I have been using Heroku since its beginnings, and have seen it grow from an early startup, up to the enterprise level solution they are now. Over the last three years I have recommended Heroku to all of my clients to host the apps I develop for them, and I've had the opportunity to work one on one with technical account managers at Heroku (with their premium service) to learn more about how to optimize the apps and setup for high scale production level.

Started doing web development back in 1997, first with plain text editors and then moving along with editors like Dreamweaver, then back to text editors for simplicity and for writing the code directly. In that process I have become very familiar with all aspects of a web page, web application and its interactions with the browsers.

Alejandro is very experienced with Rails and can quickly solve problems where you are stuck. He is also a good teacher showing you where you made the miscue in your code.
