Nick Kallen’s Summary
I have been building Web Applications since 1995: e-commerce and social networking services on a variety of platforms and frameworks. Mostly programming in Ruby (and Javascript) since 2006, although recently I've been doing some Scala and Erlang.
I am the author of NamedScope and many other popular open source projects. See my open-source work at Github.
My specialties include: scalability, database optimization, algorithms, object oriented design, metaprogramming, Agile/XP, Javascript/Ajax, and Ruby on Rails.
I write beautiful code, very quickly.
I am only available for consulting.
