Ellen Dash

I am currently available for contract work, preferably but not exclusively for projects relating to kernel development, Ruby, or automation using Docker and Ansible.

I'm a software developer who has over a decade of experience with C, x86 assembly, Ruby, and web development.

I currently work part-time for Ruby Together, helping maintain RubyGems and related projects.

The majority of my C experience is in the realm of operating system and kernel development.
