This reminds me (somewhat unfortunately) of the Playpump[1] which I saw referenced again in some product reading about really understanding customer and user needs in building new product. The Playpump was a playground toy that pumped water - got great PR and raised lots of money. Unfortunately it was also less efficient than existing pumps, required training, was more expensive and was not field repairable.

Philadelphia, PA | Blackfynn | http://www.blackfynn.com | Full Time | Fullstack, Frontend & UX | ONSITE

Neuroscience data – EEG, MRI, microscopy, genetics, and associated metadata – is some of the most complex that is used in science today. Standing alone, each component does little to solve complicated problems in research, development, and clinical care. Epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, Parkinson’s Disease and other neurologic conditions affect one in six people worldwide. Without the ability to work collaboratively with this data in an integrated manner, and in the relevant context including links to metadata, teams of researchers and clinicians are prevented from making fundamental discoveries that advance the field toward better medicines, devices and care delivery approaches. Blackfynn’s Data Management Platform solves this problem by enabling data integration and collaborative science. Help us solve this problem, and you will help improve the lives of tens of millions of people worldwide living with neurologic illness.

We’re a small team (4 today), well funded, and we’re looking for a fronted engineer, a full stack engineer, and a UX designer. We’re based in Old City in Philadelphia. Our stack today is Java, JS, Polymer all on AWS.

Questions - please email tom@blackfynn.com

SEEKING FREELANCERS - Remote - Frontend - Javascript, HTML, CSS

I'm looking for a number of people who are interested in freelance work in (primarily) JS. Remote is fine, prefer full time (or close) availability and some overlap with US Eastern time would help.

The development will be using our API and the Google Closure library (experience not required). A strong background in JS/HTML/CSS is needed.

There are a large number of projects available and they require little coordination, so they are pretty ideal for remote freelancing.

Contact me (Tom) at tjanofsky at monetate if you're interested or have any questions.

Thanks!
