I was the fourth person to join the company. Our offering was essentially a non-moderated, remote user testing system. A pool of users, using a special instrumented browser, would be sent to a client website, to perform specific tasks. Objective, subjective and click data was collected to during these sessions. In addition to playing a role in shaping the offering itself, I designed all the key product interfaces including the scripting tool that our internal consultants used to create the study script and the report interfaces presented to clients. The reporting solution included quantitative data with some statistical analysis, qualitative data and interactive clickstream presentation of path data. I spoke at BAYCHI Usability SIG ( https://baychi.org/bof/web/20000504/ ) and HFES about this work and also filed for two patents. Only designer on this team.

Designed and developed a UI that helped users query groups of data sets from NASA. Typically users made the query and had to wait a considerable period of time before results were returned - many times only to learn that there was no data corresponding their query existed. I designed an interface to improve this user experience. Users were shown a preview of where data sets existed - geographically and temporally.
