Even though I feel I’m a pretty competent software developer, I’m very excited to join another developer for which I have a truly profound respect. I’ve only recently made the career move of working on the web full time, and this is a great opportunity for me to kickstart this phase of my career by working with a Rails / REST / jQuery guru.

Starting today, I’m working for GiraffeSoft, with James Golick. We’ve wanted to work together for a while, and the stars have finally aligned to make this possible.
