Top SchoolJamie Dyer is a hands-on Technical Director and senior software architect with 18 years of experience building and scaling web platforms, leading teams, and running profitable technical businesses.

Having run multiple companies and worked remotely for over a decade, he brings entrepreneurial pragmatism and a strong understanding of what makes remote teams thrive. He favors simple, readable solutions and has repeatedly turned technical debt into maintainable, well-tested code while improving business outcomes.

Active Merchant is a simple payment abstraction library used in and sponsored by Shopify. It is written by Tobias Luetke, Cody Fauser, and contributors. The aim of the project is to feel natural to Ruby users and to abstract as many parts as possible away from the user to offer a consistent interface across all supported gateways.
