A bit about me.

An experienced developer living in Boston, and working with a great team at Thoughtbot. I’ve done AI for the NCSA, programming for the University of Illinois, systems administration for Citysearch.com and Caltech’s Earthquake Detection Network.

Since I’ve been working with rails, I’ve been the lead developer for the Shoulda rails plugin, and for the LDAP-Activerecord gateway.

“Tammer has a seemingly relentless passion for excellent software practices, and an exacting eye for both others’ work and his own.
