pat-is-available-for-work.txt

For anyone who needs some Ruby/Rails/HTML done in the near future, or knows
someone else who does...

I have some availability for two to three days a week, from late September. For
at least the first six weeks, as part of some wandering around the globe, I
will be based in Bătdâmbâng in Cambodia, so my involvement in any projects will
have to be done remotely (unless you happen to be in Cambodia as well, of
course).

If you need some indication of my experience - I've been working with Ruby and
Rails for over two and a half years, and several years with HTML, CSS and
Javascript. I also have a large amount of experience with the Sphinx search
engine, having written a Ruby API (Riddle) and ActiveRecord plugin (Thinking
Sphinx) to work with it. RSpec is my testing framework of choice. I can wax
lyrical on my skills with these languages and tools if you really want, but
let's keep things clean and concise for the moment.

I'm also actively involved in the Ruby community, regularly visiting and
presenting at the Melbourne Ruby Group, and organising unconference-style Rails
Camps in Melbourne and London.

If I can help you with your projects in any way, please don't hesitate to get
in touch and we can discuss the work, dates and rates.

PLEASE NOTE: I'm currently travelling in Turkey, and have limited connectivity.
If you send me an email, please don't expect a reply straight away - but I will
make every effort to get in touch with you as soon as possible.
