Ed Schmalzle is a CTO at EcoMap Technologies, Inc.. He possess expertise in ruby on rails, ruby, web applications, java, javascript and 20 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Simply put, Ed was my best guy for a good part of his time at SmartLogic. He joined our team with only self-taught Ruby experience but in less than a year he had progressed to the point of shaping a lot of our best practices. While Ed excels especially well when the task at hand is particularly interesting, he shines as an employee when the mundane is required, the type of work that your typical above average programmer would stew over. Ed is highly involved in the technology community attending and presenting at user groups and conferences. He's concerned with doing things "the right way" and ensuring that he and the rest of his colleagues are improving their craft. During his tenure with SmartLogic he progressed from programmer to tech lead to project manager (bear in mind at SmartLogic a PM was typically responsible for all three). Ed still has a lot potential-- I would hire him again without hesitation." and "Ed has been an amazingly helpful resource during the the time we have worked together. He is always open and willing to help when an issue arises. Ed is friendly, knowledgeable, and dynamic in the workplace."
