I am a self-taught programmer with experience in a variety of languages and paradigms. Over the past five years, I have spent the vast majority of my time learning the latest software design best practices and technologies. I have a passion for writing quality code. Upon leaving a career in banking, I went back to school to pursue a computer science degree, which I complete in December. Upon graduation, I intend to find development work in Ruby, Rails or Clojure with a company that applies agile methodologies, focuses on a test first approach and whose developers have a real passion for completing quality work. If this sounds familiar, I might be a good fit for your company.
