Swingpal is online golf lessons through the web. A student uploads a video of their swing, and an instructor analyzes it in the browser (drawing on the video, commenting, side-by-side comparing with professionals). It's based in Nashville and has 5-10 employees and a partnership with a major golf TV network.
I started as employee #2, and left when the tech team size was 5 developers (between operations, flash, backend and frontend roles)
What Josh did: the Rails development from after the proto-type stage through the launch stage. I added all the tests and refactored the code-base for Ruby best practices.
What did Josh not do: The in-browser video-player/analyzer tool, graphic design
