I’m a professional Ruby on Rails web application developer currently finishing up a degree at Rochester Institute of Technology in Information Technology and Economics. My primary interests are the Ruby programming language, databases and data modeling, economics, and jazz. I also publish an economics blog at RespectCapitalism.com.

I'm a freelance developer working with Ruby and other modern tools to build web applications, based currently out of Rochester, NY. I love to learn about new technologies and am always trying to achieve elegance and beauty through code.
When I'm not writing software, I like to play tennis, dabble in jazz piano, and ponder economics. I'm a big fan of: world travel and cultures, jazz music, Korean food, coffee, and having interesting conversations.-
