Call me!
Or just say hello!

Passionated Ruby on Rails dev, I'm always ready for new projects.

I love beautiful, simple, but functional things; so I'm trying to apply the KISS principle in everyday's life.

I look like a boxer (really) but I kick code like a fighter!

I'm interested in web 2.0, code hacking, sport and for sure beers.

Or just say hello!

  Summary
  
  I've been a self-taught since childhood, passionate about computers and the web.
  
  I learned flash for my first web site in 2004 (long time ago :), then need mode flexibility so i learned php, worked with drupal and wordpress.
  I started using my first framework (codeigniter) in 2009 and finally learned ruby on rails in 2010 (when it was the 2.3.x version) to build real web applications!
  
  Now I love working with new technologies to bring beautiful and functional web applications and make people happy.
  
  I like the open source community and although I m not contributing much for the moment, I enjoy working on personal projects in my spare time.
  
  I m really interested in scaling, web services and cloud computing.
  
  Things i plan to learn for 2012:
  (done, keep learning)Rspec
  (done, keep learning)backbone.js
  Amazon web services
  nodejs(deeper)
