Brad Pauly - Web Developer

If you ever need a glowing letter of recommendation, let me know. -- Jason Bitner, FOUND magazine

I'm a freelance web developer with 10 years of experience building websites. Currently most of my work has been in Ruby on Rails although I have extensive experience with PHP and ColdFusion. A few of my most recent projects are shown below. Please send me an email if you are looking for a web developer or would just like to say hi.

FOUND Magazine

FOUND Magazine is live! Over the past month or so I've had the privilege of working on the new FOUND magazine website with Jason Bitner and Arthur Jones. Jason playing el jefe, designed by Arthur and coded by myself. It was a fun project and I am very please with the result.

Along with the public site, I built an administrative site that will help them more easily manage all the finds that are sent in, the events they put on and other parts of the site that change on a frequent basis. The site was built with Ruby on Rails and has a MySQL database on the back end. The site is served with mongrel via Apache with mod_proxy. I develop with mongrel, but this was my first deployment to a production environment with it. It has been running very well.

the fifth flavor

The front page of the fifth flavor website was designed and sat static, by itself, for more than a year. This summer Nina contacted me about turning the design into a website. After some tweaking we had it nailed and a stalled project went live.

Nina is a fabulous chef and if you have any catering needs or are looking for a personal chef in the Boston area, you should get in touch with her.

Moon Works Laundry Soap

Relaunched the Moon Works website. The site was rewritten with Ruby on Rails (originally a PHP site). The public site looks much the same. The rewrite was done in order to make the site easier to maintain, make some static pieces dynamic, and to gain experience integrating a Rails site with PayPal. You see, I'm part of the Moon Works "Gang" so this was an internal project.
