This is the portfolio of Chris Manlapid, a web developer living and working in New York.
I collaborate with designers and creative agencies to deliver the best user experience
for each unique project.

Chris is one of the most resourceful web developers I've worked with, versatile in both front and backend programming. His methodical rapid-prototyping approach to build robust backend systems makes complex programming feel effortless and allows me to focus on thinking creatively as a designer.
He understands how a good UX (user experience) can make a big difference to your end product and loves to experiment with new ways to engage the audience. In addition to being a reliable partner-in-crime, Chris is very responsive, open to feedbacks, and personable, making him a collaborator to die for.
