I've been developing software for 15 years, the last 4 of which have involved making web apps with Ruby. Before Ruby I developed desktop apps with Python, and (harking right back to the early days) dynamic web sites with Perl.
I get a kick out of making software that people enjoy using. I'm the author of the Nesta CMS (written in Sinatra). Check out my github page to get a better feel for recent open source work: http://github.com/gma
