Lists
-
Ruby
The Ruby language is my workhorse scripting language, for both full-fledged applications and impromptu utility scripts. I often use Ruby as a glue between scripts from more specialized languages, such as R and SQL.
-
Ruby on Rails
This is my primary web framework, which I've used to build award-winning in-depth news projects that can handle traffic from millions of users. I've also built apps using the more minimalist Sinatra and Padrino frameworks.
-
Databases
My main production database languages are MySQL and SQLite, which I use as data stores for both web applications and large data-mining operations and analyses. I've also used MongoDB for web applications.
-
JavaScript
Most of my JS work is in user-interface features and visualizations with libraries such as jQuery, D3, and Highcharts. I also have some experience with client-heavy frameworks such as AngularJS.
-
Code and project management
I use git daily for tracking personal and for managing professional team projects and I regularly contribute to Github open-source repositories. I have extensive experience in test-driven development, particularly with the RSpec and Jasmine libraries.
-
System Operations
I've deployed, secured, and maintained web sites both on hosted platforms and custom cloud servers, including Heroku and Amazon EC2.
-
PHP
This was my first language for building interactive news projects, including a crime mapper, and I currently use it to maintain WordPress sites.
