Need a web developer?

Hello, I'm Casper Fabricius. I have developed for the web for 9 years, and have been enjoying Ruby on Rails for the past 4.

My experience covers communities, shopping solutions, multi-language sites, heavy back-end lifting and a wide selection of more traditional websites. I like to integrate Ruby with Java and .NET through JRuby and IronRuby when it makes sense. I am passionate about test- and behavior-driven development, but at the same time I am pragmatic and believe in getting things done.

I am based in Copenhagen, Denmark, but I take assignments from across the globe. Feel free to study my resumé, featured projects and - of course - to hire me.
