A creative design company called Old Green Pickup began its transition to using Ruby on Rails as its primary development platform. Since this was one of only a few projects Old Green Pickup had used Ruby on Rails with, the President of Old Green Pickup hired Bryce to take over the production and make sure everything was running smoothly. This is the first project in a new relationship we wish to cultivate.

I was brought in as an associate developer to the AAA project to make sure it was completed on time with high quality. I resided in Ohio for a period of three weeks to develop alongside the lead developer.

During that time, I helped with formalizing the architectural plan of the application, offered assistance in deployment and led development projects for several areas of the application.

One fundamental role in the project was to create an online market place and integrate it with an existing SQL Server database. I also created a robust shopping cart and checkout procedure. I also built a web service to manage users in the shopping cart.

The main application was build using a Flash frontend and required data called from the Rails backend. I built a background RESTful interface and helped the lead designer integrate it with Flash.

Integration with other AAA services was also required. I built the front end code to a GIS service, a system for sending emails, and a mechanism to create, store and display unique travel products.

I returned home and continued working on the project through their successful launch in early May of 2008.
