You are :

An expert-level developer in HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript with extensive experience in several Javascript data visualization frameworks (e.g. D3.js, Chart.js, Rechart, etc.) and responsive / adaptive design.

Detail-obsessed, open-minded and excited to work with designers and other technologists.

Experienced both in building production-quality code as well as rapid prototyping and creating POCs.

Experienced working with production data from live APIs for front-end visualization of business and/or scientific data.
