I am Martin Malinda and I create interactive user experiences

Freelance JavaScript developer and creative coder

I like to build amazing projects on the web

I like to come up with inovative and original approaches that provide a unique experience and that do not compromise speed, usability or accessibility.

Finding solutions
  • I take time to understand the problem in full context
  • I think the ideal solution is often an easy one
  • I always try to reduce the amount of work for the user to minimum
User Experience
  • Lightweight solutions, easy on the eyes
  • Creating a positive experience means creating a memory
  • Animations can explain context and navigate attention
  • Visual communication can add more depth
Optimizations
  • Make the site load fast and stay fast
  • Decrease the size of scripts, styles and images
  • Render content as fast as possible
  • Ensure 60fps interactions

Design by code is my favourite hobby

Even though I am primarily a JavaScript developer, main driving force behind my work is creativity. Design by code is effective. It requires a different mindset and therefore leads to unique results. Letting me do both design and code can be ideal for smaller projects.
