Hello! I am
Paul Chesterton
Full-Stack Ruby on Rails Developer
I'm a passionate developer who has been crafting web applications since 2017. I specialize in Ruby on Rails and have a knack for building scalable, efficient, and user-friendly applications. I'm known for delivering high-quality code and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams to bring ideas to life.

I have a strong foundation in both front-end and back-end development, with expertise in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and various databases. I am proficient in building RESTful APIs, integrating third-party services, and optimizing application performance. I am also experienced in using version control systems like Git and collaborating on projects using Agile methodologies.
Outside of work, I am an avid learner and enjoy exploring new technologies and programming languages. I am passionate about my family and enjoy spending quality time with them. In my free time, I like to play music and am a multi-instrumentalist, which helps me stay creative and think outside the box.
