I'm Dean. I'm a Ruby on Rails developer based in the UK. I've been working with Ruby for 10 years and have built and maintained hundreds of Rails apps over that time. I also maintain and administer multiple Linux servers.

My current projects are:
- Florence Bot - A custom Twitch chat bot and game giveaway system with commands, quotes and more!
- Fremily chat extension - A browser extension which allows users to view chat name colours and badges in their browser, just like Fremily do with their on-screen chat

- Subpoints - A tool for Twitch streamers to show their subscriber and subscriber points counts on a stream overlay.
