Simon Oulevay’s Summary

I seek to gain more experience in web development, and to follow the evolution of web-related technologies. I am a proponent of web standards (W3C) and design paradigms like Convention over Configuration (Ruby on Rails) and DRY, in order to quickly produce online applications that are as serviceable as they are coherent and elegant.

I aim to continue working on freelance projects on the side to learn new technologies and remain up to date on the latest developments.
