Hi, I'm Perry .

I am passionate Ruby on Rails Developer who really enjoys delivering well crafted code using eXtreme Programming development practices and Scrum for project organization.
Who says TDD isn't fast?
I particularly enjoy Test Driven Development especially with ruby. Mentoring developers on how to TDD is fulfilling in that I am proactively reducing the amount of unmaintainable code in the world.
I get things done...the right way.
I mercilessly refactor code, but this doesn't slow things down. It speeds them up! My teams have delivered over 30 applications on time, on budget, and feature complete.
I thrive on small teams because I love being involved in all areas of development. It's great to deliver ground-breaking products with teams that continiously improve.
Hide the carrot juice!
I love spending time with my family and introducing my children to hobbies that I missed out on when I was a kid.
I'm kind of an exercise freak in that I run, cycle, and do resistance training almost every day. Sometimes, this leads to me competing in
crazy events
or getting air rescued because I
"failed to negotiate a jump"
.
In summary, I'm not going to eat all of your cheetos or drink all of your beer, but you may want to hide the juicer.
Currently
I am an Independent Ruby on Rails Developer.
