Meet Emily Stolfo Jun 11 2014

Could you introduce yourself in a few lines?

Salut ! I'm Emily and I work on the Ruby driver to MongoDB. I also teach Rails at Columbia University as an adjunct faculty. You can otherwise find me running, going to concerts, or on a plane to a place I've never been before.

You're giving a talk at Rulu this year. What will you talk about?

That wrap music: writing a Ruby API to wrap another API.

Three properties:

• You code with: Sublime
• You test with: RSpec, TestUnit
• If Ruby was forbidden, you would code in: C

What Lyonnaise specialty will you give a try this year?

What are you working on these days?

I'm splitting my time between maintaining the current Ruby driver (1.x) and working with my team to write a new one (2.0)

What are the talks, books, libraries or commands you think more people should be aware of - because, well, they make your life so much better!

• poodr, of course.
• Domain Driven Design
• Programming Pearls (always relevant despite the publication date!)

Anything to add before we wrap this up?

I look forward to catching up with some rubyists I had the pleasure of meeting at dotrb last year and to meeting some new rubyists. In particular, if you're a mongo ruby driver user, let me know, I'd love to chat!
