Web Developer
2012 - 2016
YakynLabs
- Developed the website, Unfpa.org.tm: a traditional website with news, gallery, publications, and linked article pages. Used jQuery, and Bootstrap/LESS for the front end and MODX for the back end.
- Rebuilt the site, Unfpa.org.tm with jQuery, SUSY/Sass for the front-end and ProcessWire for the back end. Among other things, I notably developed a responsive, nested, dropdown menu—it stack-folds for small resolution screens and lines up horizontally for wide screens. I also built a responsive Pinterest-like gallery.
- Created the website Yashlyk.info: an information hub on puberty for kids with engaging Q&A tests. Used jQuery, SUSY/Sass, and ProcessWire.
- Developed the website, Drdavtyan.ru; built a paginated article view that allows the presentation of long articles without stretching the webpage height.
- Built a jewelry web app that allows a user to compose a bracelet or necklace by dragging and dropping beads and pendants. Used AngularJS for the front-end.
- Rebuilt the jewelry web app with Backbone.js and the Famous Engine (a JavaScript animation engine that utilizes GPU for smooth 60 FPS animations).
- Developed a light-but-robust animation engine in Backbone.js to replace the Famous Engine for the jewelry web app. Which resulted in a complex jewelry composer that allows you to add/remove beads or pendants, zoom in/out for fine-tuning, gives a list of beads to choose from, and animates the random generation of a bracelet or necklace. A demo can be found in my portfolio section.
- Created a document-management and publication website with thousands of articles in two languages with multiple permission levels for the parliament of Turkmenistan.
- Constructed a widget module for a parliament website that allows the website manager to set/change the layout of the website with responsive design in mind. A demo can be found in my portfolio section.
- Developed a language manager module for a parliament website that keeps track of translation links between pages that utilizes ProcessWire's SQL query builder. A demo can be found in my portfolio section.
- Built websites for the Ministry of Nature Protection and convention on biodiversity of Turkmenistan. Links can be found in my portfolio section.
- Constructed a portfolio website for the great artist Vitaly Didenko. A link and more information can be found in my portfolio section.
- Managed the server environments for websites that I built with Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL on CentOS.
- Composed a JavaScript events library that was inspired by ProcessWire's hook system and Backbone events. A link and more information can be found in my portfolio section.
- Wrote JavaScript modules that parse Sass strings and returns an array of paths that are resolved by the import directories in that string. More information can be found at the link in my portfolio section.

The website was rebuilt several times to achieve the best interactive experience for the end-user. The design was provided by the client, but the implementation was coded solely by the developer.
The version as is now is built on Backbone.js. It uses CSS3 transforms to utilize the GPU to provide solid 60 FPS animations. The code was fine-tuned with performance in mind. The user can spend all day creating, composing, zooming in/out, deleting, adding, and changing the different jewelry—and there will be no memory leaks.
Please go to http://hw.nurgulyashyrov.com/demo.html to see a demonstration video.

UNFPA Turkmenistan
The official website for UNFPA Turkmenistan.
The design of the website was provided as two JPEG images of the main and secondary page for 960 pixel-wide resolution. However the requirement was to build a website responsive to any width of the screen. All of the designs for other resolutions was built by the developer.
The website was built twice. Thу first version was built with Bootstrap/LESS, jQuery for the front-end and MODX for the back-end. The result was far from satisfying, the true responsive behavior could not be achieved and it was decided to rebuild it again.
The second version of the website was built on SUSY/Sass, jQuery for the front-end and ProcessWire for the back-end. The result was something that the client was satisfied with and the product was deployed into production.
