Kevin English

I am a Software Engineer specializing in Web 2.0 application development. Currently a huge fan of Ruby on Rails and CoffeeScript.

Just to give you an idea of who I am : I've been doing Ruby on Rails/Javascript/jQuery since 2007. I have been developing for the web since 1999 so I have seen and adapted to a lot of changes.
Some of my recent projects include or have included:

• Raceplace.com - Solo/Lead developer, launched new version of their site with ElasticSearch/Rails/Javascript.
• AardvarkSafaris.com - database migration for 1000s pages of content
• DJO Global (worked on their MotionMD product, see http://www.djoglobal.com/services/motion-md/software)
• Janssen Healthcare Innovation - worked on writing Ruby backend APIs for their Care4Today and Invokana apps.
• Ulupono Initiatives - maintain a backend custom project management system for them.
• Cypress Settlements - They were bought by one of their competitors but I maintained a trade data/class action analysis software suite for them.
• Nulu.com - Worked with their team for over a year to successfully launch version 2 of their site.
  Specialties: Web 2.0, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript/CoffeeScript, Refactoring, TDD.
