About

NOTE TO HR PEOPLE: BEFORE SENDING A CONNECTION REQUEST, PLEASE CONSIDER IF I'M THE RIGHT CANDIDATE. IF YOU DO DECIDE TO CONNECT WITH ME, KINDLY EXPLAIN WHY, RATHER THAN JUST SHOOTING IN THE DARK. Full-stack Ruby & Javascript Web developer and freelance consultant specialising in integration of frontend and backend Web technologies, micro-service architecture design, API-driven single-page applications and adoption of new web technologies. My skills include front-end development with CSS3, HTML5 and Javascript, backend development with Ruby (including but not limited to Rails), some Java / Scala, Big Data technologies like HBase, Storm, Spark, Scalding, DevOps and basic sysadmin on Ubuntu (and to a lesser extent Fedora) Linux. My passions include trying out new technologies and sharing my knowledge with the community in meetups and social-professional events. Check out my Github account on github.com/zohararad
