Summary
Malena Brinkheden is a frontend developer with 11 years of experience building user-focused web applications across Angular, React and TypeScript, currently shaping global e-commerce experiences at Festina Group Technology. She blends product design and information architecture training with hands-on CMS work (Strapi/Directus), component-driven UI development and testing practices from projects for airlines, media analytics and large social platforms. Comfortable as a consultant and in-house engineer, she’s handled on-call and QA responsibilities and has shipped PWAs, messaging apps and embedded IFE portals used by dozens of airlines. Outside code she’s a research-minded problem solver who channels curiosity from diverse studies—fine arts, linguistics and forensic language—into empathetic, human-centred interfaces. Malmo-based and selective about roles, she prioritizes frontend work that connects her passions for travel, food and animals with meaningful product impact.
