[LRUG] Web devs // Ruby contractor

Wed Feb 27 08:25:50 PST 2013

Hi Olly, I am interested in both this position or the contractor work. My
girlfriend and I want to relocate to UK, and this seems a very interesting
project. The contractor work could also be a good first step in that
direction.

You can see samples of my code at my Github profile at
https://github.com/afcapel and my cv at http://codigocomestible.com/cv.html

Recently, I also co-authored an article in Practicing
Ruby<https://practicingruby.com/articles/shared/nkhaprcgwrpv> with
plenty of code samples.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.

Thanks,

-- Alberto
