Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Martinez is a creative software engineer and graphic designer with 11 years of experience specializing in journalism, media, and data-driven storytelling. He has built production systems that reach large audiences—everything from a real-time water safety pipeline for 2.7 million Chicago residents to a cross-platform festival app used by 100,000+ attendees—and has designed data schemas and dashboards for a major credit union’s six international branches. Comfortable across front-end React ecosystems, back-end pipelines, and data visualization, he blends research-led design with practical engineering to surface culturally relevant narratives. Currently pivoting toward branding and identity work as a freelance graphic designer, he brings a journalist’s sense of context to logos and visual systems. An avid runner training for his first marathon, he applies the same iterative, metric-driven mindset to both code and training.
