Worked at Groupon which used to be the largest Ruby on Rails app deployment before it was broken into micro-services. I've helped design, write, and maintain apps that were distributed across hosts and data centers. I can help you avoid developing the monolithic app from hell or help you break your existing monolith into manageable pieces. I can also help you get started in the right direction with your new Rails project.

Probably my most familiar language. Ruby was the primary language I worked in during my time at Groupon. Used it everyday for several years. Ruby the trusty work horse that I go to when I need to do something quickly.

I have done a fair bit of scripting in Python for system configuration management and a some other random automation tasks. I have also done some web development in Django; not as comfortable with it as I am with Rails but still cozy.

Matt was great! Very helpful and pretty quick in understanding my issue. I'm a novice in Rails so it was wonderful to have someone explain some of the conventions I didn't understand, solve my problem, and show me a better way to do what I originally intended. Thanks, Matt!

Matthew was awesome and I'd highly recommend him. He immediately jumped on the call and was able to quickly refactor some code while providing me with some pointers.

Matt was very friendly and patient, and solved most of my problems. We ran out of time or we'd probably have solved them all. The interface (google hangouts) caused some problems. Matt couldn't control my screen, and it was hard for him to read at his end (too small--two monitors). Changing window sizes, and toggling between them, helped somewhat. As a result, though, stuff took longer and ran up more time. Overall, my understanding of Rails has increased, and my app has progressed toward completion. Thanks, Matt!
