Hi, my name is Joerg Diekmann. I am a web application developer with thirteen years of experience - working in Johannesburg, London, Beijing, and now Cape Town, South Africa.

I believe in

Ruby on Rails

(RoR), Web2.0, HTML5, telecommuting, agile web development, Joel on Software, Google, open source, Less Software, The Pragmatic Programmers, AJAX, MySql, rspec, Passenger, JQuery, Git, and reading books. I am also a Rails contributor, and I have been part of Cape Town's Ruby Brigade since the very beginning.

I also run the hugely popular Blinkplan, my online product for the magazine industry to help them create flatplans. I am the owner of These Lovely Days. Recently, I launched Find Help - a directory to find a therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss any of your future projects.
