To work as a Web Developer where I can use my creativity and experience to provide highly functional, accessible, optimized and visually appealing solutions.

Working as a web developer for MyOpera portal where you can share photos, start your own blog, meet friends and do mobile blogging.

m.coolage.in: "A website for college students offering hyper local content relevant to their colleges" - This website is based on AOL's blogging platform and takes support from API's built by me on the LAMP stack which include Voting, SMS integration, SMS authentication, Commenting and Comments Moderation.

travel.aol.com: "Find travel information, vacation packages, airline tickets and hotels from AOL Travel; your online destination for vacation and travel planning." - Developed a tool which helps editors program pages by making it look exactly like the rendered page. This was done by utilizing the content-editable feature and a jQuery plug-in to convert DOM into a JSON object.

AOL Community Platform: It is a commenting platform powering sites like aolnews.com and moviefone.com. My work involved creating the user profiles, permalinks feature, inline moderation and optimizing JavaScript performance.

shopping.aol.com: Developed this website from the USA being the part of a team of 5 developers. The site is built using LAMP using the MVC architecture and uses jQuery.

personals.aol.com: Redesigned the website's front-end from scratch using the jQuery library, responsible for converting Photoshop documents to XHTML/CSS using sprites extensively. Paid special emphasis to the page load and JavaScript optimization.

jobs.aol.com: Helped with the migration and redesign of the website to a new architecture.

Other:

• Worked with various API's including Flickr, Twitter, YQL and MapQuest and combined them to develop application demos.
  

• Using the Agile/SCRUM Process to work collaboratively with a diverse team across two countries to deliver on the requirements.

Extensively worked on PHP/MySQL based applications, Logo designs for projects and startups, UI designs for websites and Image editing projects.

Also gained insights about working with clients and meeting tight deadlines while managing my studies as well.
