About Rachel

I’m a Ruby on Rails junkie who works for a company in New York City who focuses on DRY, well-maintained code with plenty of tests written in Rspec and Cucumber. Some say this was drilled into me during my five year stay at Northeastern University’s College of Computer and Information Science, where I graduated in 2008. Remember kids, every time you write code without tests, Matthias Felleisen kills a kitten!

I like a lot of different music and will talk about it incessantly if someone doesn’t interrupt me. I post random reviews about albums and concerts that I’ve been to lately. Living/working in New York City really makes it easy to see some awesome new music!

I write a lot about boring interesting details of my life or what I’m currently working on and like to post pictures of my Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Isabella doing weird/funny/dog things.

I also like to take adventures and am passionate about driving around with my fiancé and Isabella in my 2007 Honda Fit to visit friends and family around the East Coast.

I won’t shut up on Twitter (@rachelober) because I am much more proficient at steam-of-consciousness micro-blogging than long-winded posts, so feel free to message me there. You can also take a look at my Tumblr that houses richer texts that are too long for Twitter but not long enough to validate a full post here on my blog.

I also post public projects to my GitHub account that I do in my free time or as open-sourced projects from my job.
