Open source projects

rscribd

The Scribd's gem refactored. It's faster than the original, with less code and more test coverage.

It was actually a test I applied to myself. The goal was to reduce code and make it faster. A benchmark can be saw here https://gist.github.com/3d2e25831e8c34a8353b. My version is 10x faster

Libraries: RSpec, Webmock, Nokogiri, CuRb

oa-globocom

A set of an Omniauth strategy and a wrapper to use the Globo.com's authentication system in any Ruby project.

The goal of this project was to add the Globo.com's authentication system into Ruby on Rails projects with ease.

Now, with one line it's possible to add authentication to any project and a few lines can handle the authorization.

Libraries: RSpec, Rack, Omniauth, Webmock, Timecop

summary

A simple gem to summary text. It was my first gem, and I still maintain it.

The truncate method, presented on Ruby on Rails, was not enough for what I wanted. So I developed this gem to summarize the text without breaking any word.

Libraries: Minitest

Other projects

A cook recipes website from Globo.com. I was part of the team who made it, being responsible for both front and back ends.

How I got here

I started my carrier 7 years ago with PHP. 2 years later I was doing some cool stuff but I wanted to work on challenging projects and PHP wouldn't help me with it. So I started studying Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

Along those 7 years, I've had to teach myself how to configure several servers, to develop based on BDD and following SOLID principles, and to apply Agile methodologies to build my projects such as Continuos Integration and Continuos Delivery. I can say that I've got succeed.

Today I'm a web developer specialized on Ruby development. But also know my way around front-end development (which has become my current focus of study) and DevOps.

Why should you hire me?

Because I can do more than simply develop your project. I can aggregate to your business and that's one of the meanings of developing something, right?

I'm the dependable developer you are looking for, who is eager to hear you, to know your next plans and to bring them to the real world. You can be sure you won't need to babysit me.

Trust me, I'm a problem-solver and you are going to want to have a word with me.
