nychealthratings.com is the creation of Aaron Dancygier. I'm a an independent software consultant for hire, my specialties include Ruby, Perl, Java, Android, Mysql, Oracle, MongoDB and many other technologies. If you were wondering how this site was built, it's written in Ruby with the Ruby on Rails framework, Mysql, Prototype.js and Apache Solr. The data automation scripts are written in Perl.

It was a blast to put the first version together. I'm working on several site enhancements. I've also just finished an nychealthratings android app and will soon port this to iphone.

If you have any feedback or suggestions feel free to email me at aaron@dancygier.com
