In 2013, I won the Snowflake Software Code Off at the University of Southampton, and spent the summer working for Snowflake Software on a Web interface for their data publication platform, GO Publisher Workflow.

As a system which runs large data processing jobs, GO Publisher Workflow needs a way for users to create jobs, monitor progress, and download the results. My interface presents jobs in a clear three-column view, with jobs moving from left to right as they progress through the system. The user can drop files onto the interface to start jobs, and drag jobs between columns to change their status (for example, to start a waiting job). Within a job, individual tasks can be managed, and error logs or validation reports displayed.

The interface is written in HTML5, using Less with Bootstrap for styling, and CoffeeScript with jQuery for functionality. I was responsible for the whole process, from requirements gathering and user interface design, to writing code and integrating the interface with the main product.
