Last year I co-founded a new company called Green Bug Technology Group with a partner for the same area as me. My partner had an idea and I had the skills so we both started chipping away at a web application in our spare time that would give the aviation industry a powerful tool for both sellers and buyers of aircraft and parts. About a month ago we finally released it to the aviation public and have been seeing great results and getting tons of feed back. It’s been a long haul and were pretty proud of what it has become… and what it ‘will’ become. It beats the heck out of all the competition so hopefully, someday soon, it will become my full time job.

It’s a Ruby on Rails subscription based web application, that uses sphinx and thinking-sphinx for full text searching, memcached for caching all that data, some sweet gems like delayed_job and paperclip to delay image uploading and processing to Amazon s3, a full automated credit card subscription billing system and a ton of other goodies.
