Gregory Brown

I’m the author of the O’Reilly book Ruby Best Practices and a fairly crunchy person when it comes down to it. I took off half a year in 2008 to work on the PDF generation library Prawn, supported by the kindness of the Ruby community. I live in New Haven, CT with my girlfriend, some small animals, and a bamboo plant that seems to live without water.

Upcoming Events

Contact

I can be found on Twitter as @rubypractices and @seacreature .

I also run the Majestic Sea Creature blog, and if you’re really interested in stalking me, my non-technical writings are at Meta-Metta, which I swear I’ll eventually dust off.

Hire

Brad Ediger and I have been working together for a couple years now on insanely hard problems, through his company, Madriska Media Group. Though Madriska started as a traditional web app shop, these days we specialize in transforming complex and seemingly enterprisey business problems into robust Ruby solutions. If you’re looking for a couple top notch Ruby hackers with a strong sense of overall project architecture and systems integration, you should contact us.

We also like to help folks rescue Rails projects that are slipping off the tracks. We’re happy to work with your team, helping to squash bugs, get high priority features out the door, and fill in any gaps in experience with top-notch on the job training. If this sounds like something you need, we’d love to hear from you.
