Employment
Experience
- Feed Duckhttps://github.com/abernardes/feed_duck
Feed Duck is a gem that wraps the default RSS::Parser lib from Ruby and provides an uniform interface for reading data from Atom and RSS feeds.
- Nothing But The Funk feed readerhttps://github.com/abernardes/nbtf
NBTF is a feed reader app that I wrote, mostly as a design experiment. It consists of a delivery mechanism written in Sinatra and pure Ruby classes to implement behavioral specifications. Strongly enforced code boundaries for improved maintainability was the goal of this experiment.
This is still a work in progress.
