Nearshore Ruby on Rails Developers Available For Hire

Ever since I remember I was drawn to technology and computers. I have always found building new things, finding solutions to complex problems, learning new things and challenging myself in the process to be both very powerful and rewarding. Over the years programming has allowed me to work on many different domains, and allowed me to contribute to building things that are useful to many other people, which is for me the most gratifying aspect of software development.

My favorite development framework is Ruby on Rails. I discovered it in it's very early versions and my passion for it has only increased since. Not only do I find Ruby to be a beautiful language, but along with Rails I find it the most convenient for developing for the Web, as it assists in maintaining high quality code and enables easy collaboration within teams.

At FullStack Labs I have been very fortunate to not only be involved in a challenging project used by thousands of people around the world, but also to be part of a welcoming and supportive team that always goes above and beyond their work.

Even though I began my engineering career with an interest in robotics, I fell in love with software and the limitlessness of its potential. In the world of software, I'm bound by nothing by my imagination. I'm a curious, passionate autodidact, and I've helped clients in mining, telecommunications, health care, and more. I enjoy writing code in Ruby and JavaScript for their ability to create seemingly anything. When I'm not programming, I love gaming, and watching films and TV.

I've always been interested in computers and how they work, from their high-level abstractions to the way energy moves throughout their components. Anyone who truly loves working with computers really has two choices: become a chip architect or a software developer. In choosing the latter, I get to help our clients solve complex challenges every day — and as CEO of FullStack Labs Colombia, I get to solve the challenges of our own. Primarily, I manage the company on a day to day basis, including hiring and HR, operations, legal and accounting, and employee management. I also often lead critical projects for key clients, and still regularly commit code when time allows, including for Ekso Bionics, a manufacturer of human exoskeletons; and EKA, one of the world's largest logistics management companies. I most enjoy working with Ruby on Rails — it's highly flexible and so easy to create an app that there's no need to resort to boilerplate code. When I'm not running our Colombian operation or building new software, I like to read, watch movies and sports, and enjoy a good beer.

I first became interested in programming when, at 14, I discovered how to make a simple game using Visual Basic 6. Whether I'm building a game for myself or helping clients change the way their industries operate, the crux of development is always to solve problems and make life better for people. This is why I love Ruby: it makes helping people easy through its intuitiveness, and there's no problem that it can't solve. I've helped car dealers speed up their turnover, construction companies manage projects more easily, and salespeople best take advantage of their stacks of leads rather than get lost in them. I'm meticulous and curious, and when I'm not programming, I enjoy playing videogames and being a dad.

I've always loved the idea of an algorithm, that a computer can follow a series of steps to solve a problem. For me, coding is just plain fun, and the more I learn, the more I enjoy it. It's not just for my own gratification — each piece of software I build improves lives. I've built software for the largest bank in Colombia, a major health insurer, and an exoskeleton manufacturer. When I develop, I know that I'm part of something larger than just myself. I'm analytical, reliable, and committed. In addition to programming, I love photography and making music.

After I lost my passion for playing professional poker, I found a new one in software development. Both require critical thinking, problem solving, and can result in the exhilaration of success. But programming comes with the satisfaction of helping both the client and the world at large. I've built software that makes it easy to sign an NDA, helps carriers track their cargo, and lets people catch a ride. I'm smart, committed and reliable, and I love working in Ruby on Rails for its ease of use and ability to rapidly prototype and build MVPs. I enjoy riding my motorcycle, playing table tennis, and meditating.

I've enjoyed computers since I was a child, so when I grew up, I decided to study software engineering. I enjoy the thrill of solving a computational problem, whether for myself or any of my clients. Over the course of a decade, I've developed software for several leading companies, including OpenTable, GoPro, and ModCloth. My favorite language is Ruby, which I appreciate for its simplicity and ease of understanding. I'm patient, relaxed, and analytical, and I enjoy playing videogames with my friends and watching television.

From a young age, I've been drawn to the challenge of computers and technology. I studied Systems Engineering at Universidad Simon Bolivar and after graduating, began work as a web developer and software engineer, a job that presents me with new challenges on every project. I have extensive experience in health care, having built applications that allow Aetna Health users to discover the costs of medical procedures, exoskeleton users to monitor the data from their auxiliary bones, patients to review the bedside manner of their caregivers, and service providers to track the progress of patients who have received total joint replacement. I love the versatility of JavaScript but I'm most at home when I'm writing in Ruby, which I admire for its flexibility and ease of use. When I'm not undertaking new coding projects, I love to play soccer.

There's nothing more satisfying than creating something from nothing, and working in software development lets me see my ideas take shape every day. Over the course of my career I've helped a variety of clients turn concepts into full-featured software applications, with a focus on the health and wellness, project management, and social activism spaces. I enjoy working in Ruby on Rails for the simplicity and intuitiveness of its syntax, among other technologies. When I'm not building new software projects, I love to play video games and soccer, and go to the beach.
