About me

I'm proud to be an agile web developer and sysadmin with 4 years experience, the last 2 of which have been spent in London for tech startups, primarily using Ruby on Rails. Academically speaking, I have gained a BEng(Hons) in Computer Systems Engineering, and also an MSc in Broadband and Mobile Communications Networks.

Things that make me tick include building, deploying and maintaining scalable, efficient web applications in Ruby, tinkering with operating systems and a learning a medley of programming languages. I love automation and systems configuration; especially using Ruby based tools like Puppet and Chef.

I've made some useful tools to solve code issues too. I am the author and maintainer of the htpd_redirect_test gem, which provides shoulda style macros, allowing you to test apache mod_rewrite rules from test/unit and the twitter_notifier, a twitter plugin for cruisecontrol.rb.
