member profiles
Please add your profile to the list. You could include a bio, links to your blog, whatever. A description of your day job and what you are using Ruby for would be great, too.
- Rob Sanheim – I’m the admin of the wiki and working full time with Rails. I like cheese.
- Thomas Yates – I’m just a local Madison J2EE guy that is sick of the UN NEEDED complexity that I am forced to grapple with every day in the J2EE space. I am building a fully buzzword compliant Web 2.0 app (using RoR) at home in my spare time. (tho, truth be told, all the heavy lifting is done in Perl)
- Chris Van Vlack – Local Madison J2EE guy as well. Living it up, while coding it down. I like to eat pudding.
- Eric Knapp I’m one of the founders of the group and I arrange the meetings at the downtown MATC campus.
- Steve Peters – I’m a programmer who’s worked on almost everything from Java to C. I first started looking playing with Ruby in about 2001, but only off and on. In two words: REXML rocks! I hope that someday the stars will align and I’ll actually make it to a meeting. In my copious free time, I’m also a core developer for the Perl programming language.
- Nathan Sutton – I’m a graduate of MATC (Web Programming and Networking) and currently an intern doing rails at the Madison Metropolitan School District.
- Angel Dobbs-Sciortino I am a software engineer with most of my experience in java and php, with some experience in ruby on rails. I am working on a home inventory program right now using RoR.
- Bryan Nelson – Programming primarily in Ruby/Rails and PHP lately. Plan to use my member page mostly to just collect tips & tricks I find that will be useful (probably just to me).
- Handy Patriawan – I am currently working in a local software company and also learning RoR. RoR has given me a new hope of learning web programming.
- Jeff Sutherland – I am a web development consultant who focuses mostly on online learning and UI development. I do Java, .Net (gags as he writes that), JavaScript, Ajax, CSS, XHTML, and anything else that makes an online course or UI work. I have done Rails professionally, and I loved every minute of it.
- Gene Zadzilka – I’m the director of software development at Sway. Lots of software dev experience, and excited enough about the practical benefits of RoR to make it the technology of choice for the company. Woot!
- Jon Larkowski – I’m a Rails newbie, hoping to get away from my C#/ASP.NET day job.
- Ryan Fowler – I’m an sw engineer at Berbee. Over the years, I’ve fought w/ J2EE and PHP enough to appreciate Rails. Here’s to getting to work on it for real.
- Ryan Smith – I’m a web designer with a love for OS X, open-source projects, web-standards, accessibility, geocaching, and long walks on the beach. I’d like to help my fellow developers by designing and building clever CSS-driven front-end user experiences for RoR, PHP, and eCommerce web apps.
- Jim Remsik – Developer experienced in dealing with projects post deployment most commonly in Microsoft technologies, some python experience.
- John Buol – I learned about RoR after giving up on OpenACS (powerful, complex, and obscure) and finding that is where several high-level oACS developers left for. Seeing so much interest that a local user group dedicated to RoR formed in Madison sealed my decision to move.
- Ben Seigel – Madison, WI web designer w/ColdFusion programming background, learning Rails.
- blake hall – Drupal developer playing around with rails and ruby in my spare time.
- Jon Kinney – Madison, WI web developer focused on standards compliance, cross browser compatibility, and TDD with ruby on rails using OS X and textmate!
