Hi, I'm Garrett. I'm a full stack developer with four years agile development experience and a love for coding and the web. I'm currently a Software Engineer at RumbleFish in Portland, Oregon. Before RumbleFish, I spent four years on a 140 person development team at MINDBODY as a QA Test Technician, QA Test Engineer, and Scrum Master. Over the last four years, I've gained experience with a variety of programing languages and frameworks. My focus for the last two years has been full stack Ruby on Rails development, a framework I enjoy using more each day. I'm a natural problem solver that likes design, fixing things, and building things. When I'm not coding, I like taking long bike rides through the countryside on my electric bike, backpacking, and spending time with my girlfriend, Lindsay.
