Ruby on rails opportunity

Posted on by

contact Tom Roberts <mrtomrobs@gmail.com>

Hello,

I’m an Alumnus for the Aber Comp-Sci department (2012) and I am wondering if the following project might be of interest for any current or former students looking to gain some experience in using Ruby on Rails for web development.

With the current COVID-19 lockdown, esports in various forms have had a big surge in interest and participation. I myself am a sim-racer and have specialised (if you can call my poor results record a specialisation!) in GT3 driving. In short, I have joined a sim-racing organisation called Redline Motorsport (RLM) as one of the senior administration staff for my particular platform. We have been able to put on several big events with real-life SRO GT Championship drivers taking part and are currently working towards partnerships with several big names in the real world of GT racing as well as PC hardware suppliers.

Our current website is under continual development but we are looking to start a membership service to run alongside our ‘publicly available’ event list for ‘premium’ members to take part in for a subscription fee. However, all of our staff are volunteers at present and our work capacity is already full.

We are offering an opportunity for a Ruby on Rails developer to come in and implement this membership service on our website with a possibility of further project work later on. This will be paid (and not just in ‘exposure’, actual money!) depending on experience and would certainly be a great example of work to put on a CV.

I hope this is the right place to come with this but apologies if not, we can provide further information about the project if anyone wants to get in contact.

Kind regards,

Tom Roberts
