From his current job's description (Clinical Genomics Database Web Developer) [1,2]:
"The Clinical Genomics Database/Web Developer performs a variety of duties in the development of interactive websites, databases and interactive tools for the interpretation of genetic assays performed in a clinical setting. The Clinical Genomics Database/Web Developer also participates in the development of interactive tools for interpretation of genetic and genomic assays in support of developing high-throughput, clinically accredited pipelines to aid in identifying known variants in hereditary cancers, and in assisting in research towards the development of personalized treatments for other cancers.
Duties/Accountablilties:
1. Development of interactive websites to allow for sample submission, clinical report retrieval, and analysis interpretation.
2. Development of databases for tracking of patient samples, and preparation of reports for Clinical staff and physicians.
3. Development of interactive tools to allow for interpretation of results from genetic and genomic assays.
4. Quality-assurance testing for websites and databases.
5. Development and assessment of bioinformatic tools for detection of genetic variants implicated in oncogenesis."
Quite intense. Far from a mere "presentation layer", it seems in this case the work involves developing actual clinical research tools --which just happen to be web-based.
