She is highly proficient in client-side technologies like HTML5, CSS3/4, JavaScript, TypeScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap. Her UI development capabilities extend to hybrid mobile platforms using tools like Cordova, PhoneGap, and Ionic for both Android and iOS.
In her current role as Principal Developer at BCBSNC, she leads mission-critical system development involving scalable microservices, oAuth security layers, and agile project delivery.

She also implements authentication using PING Identity and drives technology evaluation for build vs. buy decisions.
Previously, as a Senior Mobile Developer at BCBSNC, she was responsible for building the Blue Connect mobile application using AngularJS, Node.js, and Cordova, optimizing it for performance across platforms and devices. She implemented responsive design, dynamic UI, and SEO techniques, while integrating backend APIs using Node.js. She contributed to the migration of applications from AngularJS to React Native and wrote automated tests using tools like Jasmine, Karma, and Protractor.
Manasa has worked with various clients including PwC, UPS, AIG, and BCBSNC across roles such as UI Developer and Sr. Mobile Developer. Her work has consistently involved the development of enterprise-grade applications using modern stacks such as MEAN and MERN. She has extensive experience with RESTful APIs, JSON, and working with NoSQL databases like MongoDB and DynamoDB.
Beyond development, she has strong experience in version control tools (Git, SVN, CVS), build tools (Ant, Maven), and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Cloud Foundry). She is proficient in UI/UX design, having worked with tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash. Her knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG), responsive design principles, and cross-browser compatibility further cements her standing as a front-end expert.
Manasa’s robust skill set is complemented by her creative talents in digital media and her technical capabilities in video/audio optimization, REST API integration, and mobile-first design. With a professional demeanor, strong analytical skills, and leadership qualities, she consistently delivers results that align with business goals and user needs.
