Pat is a Boston based Rails developer; at his day job Pat works at integrating Rails and other open source frameworks such as PHP/Drupal with large, legacy systems made up of a toxic mixture of vendor technologies such as WebSphere, Oracle (PL/SQL), Visual Basic, Lotus Notes/Domino, etc.
After struggling with legacy systems all day, in his free time Pat enjoys writing a blog on open source Ruby on Rails development ideas geared towards beginners.
Pat spends a lot of time with his wife and two kids. He is is fluent in Spanish and travels frequently with his family to Spain.
