Additional Information
Web Development: My server side web development experience has largely been based on the Ruby on Rails, Phoenix and Spring MVC frameworks. But I'm doing my best to learn more Elixir and Phoenix. I have also worked with some client side technology, having used Ember JS, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Foundation, LESS, SASS and have also experimented with other technologies such as Angular, Backbone, CoffeeScript.
Development Control: I have a good knowledge of application life-cycle management and have worked with GitLab, GitHub, Bitbucket, CVS, SVN, Maven, Sonar, Jira and Jenkins. I have experience with lots of testing tools and technologies.
I have also gained experience and knowledge from several side projects and research that I have undertaken in my free time, including Amazon S3, PayPal.
I created, and am now primary contributor to a Rails quiz application for students in medicine: UMed, which provides integration with PayPal API and Amazon S3.
