As a Full-Stack Software Engineer and Technical Lead in Kobe, Japan, I love creating delightful digital products using Ruby on Rails and AWS, with a fondness for good UI/UX.
I can help you analyse business problems and advise technologies and software solutions to solve them.
As a full stack developer, I can bring designs and prototypes to life using Ruby on Rails and front end Javascript libraries.
Leveraging my 25 year history in building software, I can conduct technical reviews for code quality and development process improvements.

As CTO, I helped it grow from a small startup to a multi million dollar company with over 30 staff. Along the way I've led a team of engineers to build a dashboarding and analytics SaaS, setup a 30 person on-premise call centre, built an event tracking and data pipeline capable of handling thousands of RPS, and applied machine learning to optimise marketing spend.

Over the years I have developed websites and web applications for small businesses, startups and not for profits such as SoundSpace and the Neue Geographical Society.

Built a Real Estate SaaS to manage properties, inspections, vendors and tenants that served over 400 real estate agencies in Australia; one of Australia's first large scale Ruby on Rails projects.
Of my own initiative, I turned the website development arm of the business from a loss leader to high profitability by developing a hierarchical, multi-tenant CMS using Ruby that sharply decreased costs in building new real estate websites and property portals.

Kam is business savvy and his input on projects from a marketing, design, development and business perspective demonstrates that his overall view in the digital realm transcends typical programmers.
Having developed numerous large scale Ruby web applications and content management systems, I recommend Kam to anyone after a solid technical lead, Ruby expert and/or front end web developer. He's a pretty cool guy to have a chat with too.
