Are you:

  • Worried about the health of your Ruby/Rails project?
  • Unsure how to make things better in your code?
  • Stuck on something?
  • Confused about how to go about adding that next big feature?
  • Needing a second opinion?
  • Wanting advice?

My name is Jamis Buck, and I can help!

Show me your code.

I promise to be:

  • Kind.
    I won't judge. I won't accuse. I won't laugh.
  • Encouraging.
    No matter what's wrong, you're doing plenty of things right. Let's celebrate those things!
  • Efficient.
    My experience and your familiarity with your code will let us quickly identify problems together.
  • Discreet.
    It's your code, and it's your time. Everything is confidential by default.
  • Professional.
    I've been writing software for more than two decades, with fifteen years of Ruby and more than ten of Rails. I know how this stuff works.

This is an opportunity to learn and improve.

Every mistake is a chance to do better.

Sometimes all we need is a bit of help recognizing the lesson.

How it works:

  1. We shake hands and swap contracts, NDA's, and so forth.
  2. You share your screen remotely, using whatever tool you're familiar with. Invite whomever you like to the review.
  3. You walk me through your code, and we discuss it in realtime. I'll point out potential issues, and suggest possible methods of improvement.
  4. You send payment. PayPal works well, but I'm flexible. We can negotiate other payment methods.
  5. At the very end, I send you a summary of what we discussed and what was suggested.

If the stars align, it can all be done in a day, but please allow a few days to make room for scheduling.

I'm reasonably priced.

No need to break the bank!

  • 30 minutes for $100 USD.
    Plenty of time for a focused review.
  • 60 minutes for $150 USD.
    Good for a more general (but still relatively focused) review.

Need more than sixty minutes?

Let's talk! Maybe what you need is an application-wide review or audit. I'm happy to help with that, too.

Not quite what you need?

I also offer:

  • Hourly consulting services for both Ruby and Ruby on Rails projects.
  • More in-depth application reviews and audits.
  • Training services.
  • Speaking, conferences, seminars.

Feel free to ask me if you need something a bit more out of the box. I'm always willing to discuss other opportunities.

So show me your code!

I'm Jamis Buck.
