I'm a Senior Ruby developer who drives a team of five people at Workshare's London offices. I've been commercially working with Ruby since 2007, constantly improving the way we write Ruby apps. Moving from monolithic Rails apps to Sinatra/Grape microservices in a much more Object Oriented way. I collaborate on architecture and API design decisions on a daily basis. And I'm also highly involved in the DevOps work that a microservices architecture requires. I'm a big fan of Agile Development and I collaborate as much as I can on implementing the good practices that it brings. I currently enjoy driving the daily stand up, working with Kanban and mentoring the team on TDD. I like embracing change and challenging the way we work learning new techniques.

Ruby Lead Developer @ I arrived at Workshare after it merged with SkyDox in 2012 with the purpose of integrating SkyDox' cloud service with Workshare's document manipulation capabilities. At Workshare, I assumed the responsibility of driving the Ruby team. We progressively changed the way we developed Ruby applications from monolithic Rails apps towards a microservices architecture using microframeworks. Today, Workshare Online (old SkyDox) keeps growing in both, traffic and functionality every day, in a much more scalable way using microservices in several different languages. From September 2012 to Present (3 years 4 months) London, United KingdomRuby Lead Developer @ I arrived at SkyDox in early 2010 when the company only had four employees and the product, a cloud based document sharing and collaboration tool wasn't out yet. When I arrived I took responsibility of most of the back end of the app, including the design of its architecture and API. Two years later, the product was being used by hundreds of companies around the world and I was the head of a four people Ruby team. On September 2012, the company merged with Workshare and the development team, including me, were moved to London.
