For a few years, I've been learning Rails (on top of some middling previous knowledge of Ruby) so I could build a site that manages data for the racing sim Assetto Corsa.

Hi, I'm Casey. I have worked as a professional writer for 13+ years. This includes positions in technical writing / marketing, content writing like blogs and feature articles for websites, journalism for newspapers, and grant writing for non-profits. Regarding tech, I'm most familiar with Ruby and Rails (which I used to build my personal website you see above; yes it's overkill, but it's what I know). I have some experience in personal projects with C and Python, and in the workplace with Javascript and some basic SQL for managing a Wordpress site.

Local shops, eBay, and other online outlets haven't proven fruitful....
