Hi! I'm Theo!

(You might also know me as Ry)

I am a backend developer working in the Chicago area.

In my current position, I use Ruby on Rails to create software for home insurance. I have also used Ruby, Go, and React to create software to track customer reviews and to create research management software for the asset allocation industry. In a previous life I was a management consultant.

I have experience with Ruby, Rails, Golang, Python, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, React, Node, SQL, MongoDB, SAS, VBA, and a host of Microsoft Office products. For more information, my full resume is here!

I like making new things, I like maintaining old things, and I care a lot about clean, maintainable, well-organized code. If you're looking for a creative and organized problem solver who can be turned loose on a project, drop me a line - I'd love to talk with you!
