"Ray was extremely helpful. He worked with my schedule, and helped answer all of my questions. I would absolutely work with him again, and recommend him to others."
"Raymond not only helped me to resolve my Rails controller issue, but he also ensured that I understood what went wrong and preventative measures to avoid these mistakes in the future. I am happy with the exchange, and he will definitely be one my top pick for future Rails needs on this site. Highly recommended professional!"
"Raymond was great to work with. I am a very inexperienced coder and he made me feel great and pointed me towards finding my solution. He also showed me several tools that will help me going forward. Raymond is on my 'go to' list. Very bright, very nice. A joy to work with."
"Raymond was a really great mentor. He helped me work through the problem with a wealth of knowledge. Not only did I learn a lot, I also picked up some cool gems and techniques that I will be using moving forward. He helped simplify the technical syntax to something a beginner like me could comprehend and understand. Really appreciated everything."
"Raymond is very clear and has a broad spectrum of skills to draw upon in trying to problem solve. I would happily ask Raymond to help me again in future." From 2015 to Present (less than a year) Senior Software Engineer (Ruby on Rails) @ Working in Hollywood for pop star will.i.am's (http://will.i.am) tech startup, iam+ (iamplus.com), on his wearable smartband, the Puls! It's a fashionable combination of smartwatch + smartphone, where the band IS your phone!
You can make phone calls, email, text, check Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, play music (stream any song you pick), take photos, measure number of footsteps, etc. all from your wrist, by voice commands or with your fingers. You do this all with NO external phone. We partnered with Gucci to make this device fashionable first.
See will.i.am doing amazing demo of the first Puls, in 2014: youtube.com/watch?v=_EONzgl9oFM
I'm the only engineer creating our Ruby on Rails APIs on back end, for both the physical device and our customer sites. Ember.js on the front end. From 2015 to Present (less than a year)
