Web page design and coding

Typical of a startup everyone does a bit of everything and I loved it. 80% of my time was spent working on rebranding efforts as the company went through two name changes. Originally from Carnegie Mellon, started by Professor Carlos Guestrin a pioneer in machine learning, GraphLab was a tool designed for none data scientists to explore data and ultimately bring those models to production.

The other distributed 20% was spent more in the review of UI and providing a design checkpoint for the Director of Engineering, Tim Muss.
