Need a web developer?

Hello, I'm Casper Fabricius. I have developed for the web for 8 years, and have been enjoying Ruby on Rails for the past 3.

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.
