April 2007 — August 2008 (1 year 5 months)
Virosity is a small web development shop I co-founded in 2007 to provide product management, design, and development services to early stage startups in the social web. Our first client is good2gether, a media firm which collects content from nonprofits in the US and creates new cause-related sections on major newspaper websites. We match visitors to opportunities to get involved in causses they care about, through events and volunteer opportunities in their own communities.

good2gether is built using Ruby on Rails with a Solr search component, and is deployed in a highly scalable architecture on Amazon Web Services. -
