I am from the UK but based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I have around 15 years of web development experience, 8 years of that working with Ruby on Rails. Over the past 2 years I built a sizeable YouTube following in the Ruby on Rails niche, with over 6,000 subscribers. I've published 2 online courses on Udemy and Skillshare: Ruby Programming for Beginners, and Ruby on Rails 6 Complete Beginner's course.
Over the past few years, I have worked on dozens of web apps using Ruby on Rails. I have built multiple startups from scratch, some as a co-founder with full responsibility for all technical challenges. On other startups I have hired and managed technical teams.
My last full time position was Development Manager for a multinational software team, building media monitoring tools, intelligence and insights solutions. I was working from the Malaysian office, but my team were split between 3 countries (Malaysia, Singapore and Australia).
The remote work element is something I am really keen to continue further in my next role.
