Summary
Jean-michel Saulnier is a Senior Frontend Creative Developer with 11 years of experience crafting interactive, WebGL- and motion-driven digital experiences for global brands from AFEELA and LG to McDonald’s and Kroger. Based in Faro, Portugal, he blends front-end frameworks (React, Next.js, SvelteKit) with WebGL, AR/Unity, and creative tooling to produce immersive brand launches, campaigns, and prototype production pipelines. As a freelance creative technologist he pairs studio-level R&D and workflow optimization with hands-on implementation of advanced stacks like Unreal Engine, Azure, and serverless functions. His portfolio shows a knack for translating ambitious creative briefs into performant browser experiences—often integrating CMS, media pipelines and AI tools—rather than just aesthetic front-ends. Not obvious from the title: he has deep experience building interactive hardware and sensor integrations (Kinect, Structure Sensor) and cross-device networked experiences dating back to large-scale agency work. He’s equally comfortable leading dev teams on complex productions and shipping lean prototypes that validate novel interaction concepts.
