1. HTML/CSS to create pixel-perfect UIs from design provided 2. SVG for custom charts and visualization as well as faster icons and other images 3. Integration with RESTful services on the backend using fetch() and Promise 4. High performance and small payload by utilizing point libraries for routing, charts, maps etc. 5. Standard graphs and charts using C3.js; custom charts using D3.js 6. Custom components 7. Integration with third-party APIs and libraries (Google maps, Vimeo, Wistia, Twitter, WebGL/Unity etc.) 8. Integration with proprietary APIs and libraries, using custom middleware 9. Cross-browser and device compatibility (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Edge, Safari, Android, iOS) using responsive development techniques For more technology expertise, see HTML/CSS and JS below.

1. Create functioning websites from image prototypes (PSD/PNG/JPG) 2. Convert static prototypes to dynamic websites using WordPress 3. WordPress development of custom navigation, post-types, custom queries, page hierarchies, widgets, shortcodes, and layouts 4. Integrate plugins for SEO management, analytics, contact form integration, custom fields, image galleries 5. Update existing themes, add functionality to off-the-shelf WordPress themes 6. Website performance tuning using techniques such as concatenation, minification, compression, deferred loading of CSS and JS, critical CSS separation, async JS loading, image optimization, on-demand loading of images, using requestAnimationFrame() to offload DOM updates, using SVG, CSS gradients of images, PHP object and web-page caching, CDN caching, and browser caching.

I have 11+ years of experience writing HTML and CSS. Things I pay attention to: 1. Semantics 2. Accessibility 3. Browser interoperability 4. Performance 5. Responsiveness 6. Design reproduction 7. Modularity 8. Maintainability 9. Longevity 10. Readability 11. Progressive enhancement 12. I18N I usually use Pug and SCSS for authoring HTML and CSS, but am comfortable authoring it directly. I'm comfortable with Gulp for tooling and creating packages. Writing modular and readable code makes it easy to transfer a project I've worked on to another engineer at a later stage. I keep myself updated with new advances and additions to the specifications, having adopted things like the CSS grid and new gradients standards.

I have built browserside JS applications with complex UIs. This includes building: 1. Interaction and experience 2. Routing 3. Templating 4. Data-binding 5. Caching 6. Server interaction, traditional as well as REST services 7. Reusable UI Components 8. Third party API integration 9. Execution and rendering performance optimization I have experience with creating entire JS applications, including business logic, connected to CRUD RESTful services APIs on the backend, with excellent performance and low payload. I write modular code using JS module pattern and use ES6 constructs.

I was the manager of the design team at D. E. Shaw & Co. I have extensive experience designing complex applications in the finance, human capital, and enterprise IT domains. I am also an experienced web designer, having worked on a number of internal websites while at D. E. Shaw, as well as other public websites. Have a look at my portfolio at https://manjitkarve.com/portfolio/ I am proficient at Inkscape and GIMP, the OSS alternatives for Adobe's Illustrator and Photoshop.

I managed D. E. Shaw's corporate website while I worked there. I've also deployed and managed several other website installations including setting up users, email, https, CDN, site optimization, database migration, backups, plugin management, and upgrades. I currently maintain 3 websites and have had zero downtime.
