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 husband 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.
