Santiago Martinez

I am a freelance frontend web developer, located in Madrid, with 4 years of experience in the field of programming.

Although I currently reside in Madrid, I have lived more than 8 years outside of Spain, between Bristol and London in the United Kingdom and Copenhagen in Denmark. In the United Kingdom I studied a university degree in Arts at the University of London, with a specialization in Design. Therefore, my professional English level is very high and I am used to working in very diverse groups and of many nationalities.

As a frontend developer I use SASS/SCSS as a preprocessor for style sheets and as a bundler for both CSS and JS I use Gulp with Rollup. To organize my SASS structure I use the 7 to 1 system and BEM nomenclature. In addition, I create mixins, placeholders or custom functions depending on the needs of the project. In addition, I have experience using CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap or Tailwind.

As a JavaScript developer, I have extensive experience in manipulating the DOM including events, consuming APIs with Axios or Async functions, etc. And if necessary, I am able to build a basic backend structure in Node with Express.

As a JavaScript framework I use React. Although I don't have extensive experience yet. However, I have no problem handling myself in its environment with components, props, events, states, etc.

As for JavaScript libraries, I have experience with the most popular ones in the sector such as: Swiper or Splide for carousels, Lightgallery for image or video galleries, Mapbox or Leaflet for maps, GSAP or Three.js for animations, MixItUp for filters, Validation.js for form validation, etc.

I would also like to highlight that I regularly collaborate with a group of freelancers from Madrid who also work in Web Design. Among them is my partner Chisco Álvarez who also has a profile on Malt.
