What is a WorkUnitGroup?
WorkUnitGroup is a the public interface to the consulting and freelancing work of Matthias Hennemeyer, a 29 years old mathematician from Germany. While coding for his scientific studies in computerexperimental mathematics, he had contact with Ruby and Ruby on Rails and felt in love so much that he spent more than a year after his graduation in 2006 reading every Ruby, Rails(TM), Agility, ExtremeProgramming and GettingThingsDone(TM) related book and studied every aspect of the Rails framework and the agile way of outcome focused working.
But what's with the name?
The initial idea for the name was WorkUnit as a focused and consistent unit of energy. Unfortunately the name wasn't available and a quick brainstorming showed up WorkUnitGroup as a slightly longer but available name with the same implication.
From theory to application.
Matthias launched WorkUnitGroup in april 2008, created a commercial Rails app, an open source Rails app, published some Rails plugins, a Ruby Gem, the Ruby on Rails Simple Domain Modeling Stencil for Omnigraffle and his first consultancy client said: "I'm very glad you invited me to work with you. Thank you so much ..."
Test First Hire
Not only because he is a somewhat new player in the consulting and freelancing business,
Matthias wants you to test-drive the experience of working with him.
Test Drive is 100% Free and will not be subject of billing at any time.
Everything's covered by NDAs.
Test First Hire?
Give him a problematic area in your app to analyze, a class to refactor, a feature to implement with Rspec/BDD, the mapping between a sophisticated domain model and a RESTful service interface.
Test First Hire!
You will receive suggestions and solutions from someone with a totally different perspective,
theoretical background and fairly abstract mathematical thinking.
This is a fantastic opportunity to get a fresh eye on your app, system or process,
especially if you are caught in a wood for trees problem.
