Jonathan Gabel is a full-stack web developer with 12 years of experience building Ruby on Rails backends and JavaScript-driven front ends for clients across Detroit and New York. He blends MVC philosophy, TDD/BDD practices, and habitual Git workflows to deliver scalable web platforms and live-event activations hosted on Heroku. His work spans HTML5/CSS3 with preprocessors, Marionette/Backbone front-ends, Node tooling, and test suites like RSpec and Mocha, with occasional forays into Android, WordPress/PHP, Node.js, and Python. Jonathan also teaches digital media and contemporary art, bringing a practiced designer’s eye and an MFA background to user-facing interactions and visual systems. Beyond agency and freelance projects, he has built interactive canvas experiences (paper.js) and social/live projection systems for brands and events, demonstrating a knack for combining creative direction with production-grade engineering.
