Leonardo Borges’s Summary

Simply put, I'm a assumed geek that loves to learn.

I've been developing software for 9 years through companies of various sizes - including private, public ones and the government - and my knowledge spans a range of technologies with a clear emphasis on enterprise applications with the Java Platform - with all its intricate architectures and frameworks - and, in the past couple of years, Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

In my most recent work I've helped my company move away from PHP to Ruby on Rails, as well as lead major refactorings in our legacy Java applications - e.g. introduce hibernate and spring.
I like being on the cutting edge and am currently leading a JRuby project that integrates a Rails front-end with our Java back-end services.

On a more personal note my side interests also include singing, playing the guitar and adventure sports.
