Work
I co-founded makandra. We design, build and host ambitious web applications. We also make Rails LTS.
I currently focus on training junior developers and iterating on our tech stack.
Open Source
I created and maintained a large number of open-source libraries over the years. Here are some I'm still happy with:
- Unpoly: Unobtrusive JavaScript framework for multi-page apps
- capybara-lockstep: Synchronize Capybara commands with async browser work
- minidusen: Low-tech search solution for ActiveRecord with MySQL or PostgreSQL
- modularity: Traits and partial classes for Ruby
Talks
I like to give talks and trainings and user groups, companies and universities. Here is a small selection I still find relevant:
- Why I'm Closing your GitHub Issue: Talk at RailsConf 2019
- Fixing Flaky E2E tests: Training video
- Jasmine für Fortgeschrittene (German)
- We're breaking up with JavaScript frontends: Talk at Ruby User Group Berlin
- Web development 101: Lecture at University of Augsburg
- Software Test Automation: Lecture at University of Augsburg
Writing
