Working With Rails

I am a freelance web developer with more than a decade of experience in the software industry. My interest in Ruby and Rails started around two years ago and I haven’t looked back. The most notable sites I’ve been involved with in the last two years is sellmefree and classifieds.co.nz.

The classifieds site is my latest project and I’m responsible for design, development and administration of the site. From a design perspective, the only elements on the site left from the original design template is the header and footer. The site uses attachment_fu with RMagick to handle image manipulation and uploads to amazon S3. Searching for adverts is handled through acts_as_ferret and at the time of writing I’m working on the authentication system utilizing the restful_authentication plugin.
