                Key Contributions -

                    <li>
                        Development of reusable <a

                        modules (Modular JavaScript Design Pattern)</a> for a given
                        functionality
                        using AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) and loading using Require JS to improve web-page
                        performance
                        and code maintainability
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        Usage of Underscore JS framework for coding of reusable HTML templates which can be rendered
                        on
                        the fly. This helps in avoiding typo errors due to single or double quote mismatch in
                        JavaScript
                        code which are hard to debug. It also provides separation of HTML template from JS thus
                        improving code maintainability
