I have been working with Ruby since 2012. I have used Ruby in few of my projects, from build system to Web Application (Ruby Rails, Sinatra and even pure Rack app). I have wrote and contributes to a few open source projects, like ActiveMerchant. I mentored students to improve their coding skills in Ruby. I also passionate about OOP, data structures and algorithm, where I use ruby in a few of Algorithm contests.

I have been working with Ruby on Rails since 2013. I have built a bunch of complex Rails applications along the way and contributed to a number of popular open source projects built with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I have worked with a few startups, that use Rails to build their application. Duriana.com, Tidyhq.com, Booster.com, Fave.com, Onploy.com.

I have worked with Git since the last 11 years, and very verbose with all the git tricks, I also have deployed my own git server in my own server to host my private repositories back then. I was a Git admin for a 500 -1000 company, to host their private repos.

I wrote automation, setup monitoring and alert, improve the agile process in a team towards continuous delivery for a few startups in the region using a few frameworks and tools like Chef, NewRelic, Monit, Nagios, etc. I have also design Infrastructure for few startups to support few burst traffics using AWS Auto Scaling. Cost and Performance Efficient solution. I have used AWS, Softlayer, Heroku and Digital Ocean, and I can help advise you what to use to host your next big idea.

I have wrote few cookbooks and published it in the Chef Supermarket. I maintained few startups cookbooks, to provision around 10 - 20 services in 1 command line.

I have started pickung up Ansible, to explore its potential over Chef. I've provision servers in production using Ansible.

I've built React App for a few of my clients. From partial react component to full react app. If you have a legacy big app, using jquery, I can help you move progressively to React.
