View Levent Ali's profile on LinkedIn

A tumblelog on much and nothing in the life of Levent Ali...

What does he do?

He's a Ruby developer, currently employed by JGP. He's working on and migrating from the old to the new, what is potentially one of the largest applications to date built in Rails.

He enjoys taking photos and co-owns Dented Records.

He's more of a jazz coder than a rockstar.

"Levent is a great web developer - always learning, always keen to get stuck into a meaty problem. Fully TDD and CI compliant, Levent always focuses on quality output. That said you can't hire him he works for me!!"
- Eben Halford, CTO, Jobs Go Public

I'm always open to stimulating conversation though.

Absolute impossiblility of accurate sprint planning, and utter meaninglessness of any measurement of velocity, due to a team consisting of 3 full-time developers, one Tom, and one Levent (one-tenth of a developer (in a good week))
