Avaliable For Hire

UPDATE: Sorry, you can’t have me as I’m now back in my role at Ponoko. Although I’d be up for some mentoring around town in Wellington, NZ if anyone was interested.

I am available for contract Ruby on Rails website development, consulting and/or mentoring.

I primarily focus on high quality code, simplification, scalability and performance – all the big buzz words.

My focus is in the back-end of a website’s code and the back-end Linux infrastructure supporting the website.

I don’t really do the front end html/css/js but I can if necessary – or I can find someone that does.

My focus is in the back-end of a website’s code and the back-end Linux infrastructure supporting the website. I don’t really do the front end html/css/js but I can if necessary – or I can find someone that does.

I’m currently doing three main types of work:

building the back-end to websites – be it the business logic, the infrastructure or both.
optimizing existing sites – ensuring that the site scales, checking code quality, reducing bottle necks etc
mentoring staff and providing technical advise for decision making

In terms of my immediate work history the following Ruby on Rails based jobs stand out:

providing mentoring and technical expertise to ProjectX (CTO)
I was brought in as a technical expert to optimise Beetil and provide general mentoring for YouDo
involved in building, launching and maintaining Ponoko featured on TechCrunch (CTO)
and earlier on setup HireThings (Development Manager)

I’ve been professionally in the coding business for over 13 years and run the Wellington Ruby on Rails user group - WellRailed.

To keep my skills and expertise relevant I am developing a massively multiplayer turn based strategy game which has a fat Javascript front end and Ruby on Rails backend.

As I am Wellington NZ based my ideal situation is working from here, although obviously I can travel as needed.

I can be contacted via my gmail account which is my name, Nahum Wild, separated by a full stop.
