About me

I am a software developer and graduate of the Turing School of Software and Design. I pick up new concepts quickly and constantly seek new opportunities to learn and grow. I have always been into technology and videogames, my passion for both led me to software development and it's something I enjoy with my passion for it growing every passing day. As a developer, I have experience building apps in Ruby on Rails with PostgreSQL using TDD processes with Rspec, version control using git and GitHub, with continuous integration to Heroku using TravisCI.

I now have a website! www.robertobasulto.com
