I'm a (former) musician, (forever) student, entrepreneur and hacker. Two failed startups since the initial writing of this, and now I do UI/UX design and development.

(my name) @ GabrielMartin.dev

(edit: 12.12.2013 - It's a bumpy ride. Ecommerce site this time.)

(edit: 5.14.2014 - Third time isn't the charm. Looking for ways to gain some experience and insight.)

(edit: 8.07.2014 - I found the Startup Institute Boston, and the experience has been life changing. Here's to the future!)

(edit: 2.29.2019 - now I'm a JS dev doing UI/UX development, who would've thought?)

(edit: 3.29.2022 - Hybrid UX dev and design, pretty pretty cool stuff)

(edit: 12/15/23) How lucky I was to fail. Married with a gig as a UX architect.

(edit: 9.15.2026 - now I'm doing design and product work, with plenty of code mixed in, working on this https://swirltogether.com/ )

let's not make this place glib like everywhere, it's one of the few places people stay mostly decent to each other.

I've worked with frontend a lot, but my ideal role is to help shape the UX of a product, by some mix of working with a founder or product owner, designing/prototyping, then building the frontend. Hybrid roles are very satisfying, but I'd accept a pure design role as well.

Fun stuff I added over the years while playing with it:

Multiplayer with settings sharing. Lots of brush shape/timing settings, mirroring. Make colliders and import / create masks. Right click is replay. Lots of Simulation controls, Typography tools. A powerful hotkey system to give a control over everything. Kaleidoscopic mirroring.

If anyone else really loved that lovely GLSL fluid sim that's been posted here a bunch, I'm working on a beefed up version of that same shader: https://swirltogether.com/

I've added some playful collaborative parts, and I'm doing a playtest of it over the next few weeks before releasing it as a demo on steam at Next Fest.

MMT is just a description of the monetary reality we're in. If everything changed, the new reality would be MMT.

Hi Michael, the range of unique interactions and little pieces of visual feedback for users in your demos is super impressive, and as a designer, I hope you don't mind if I shoot my shot.

I'm ending a MIT xPro course on designing AI products in about a week, and I've been looking for places to put all my learnings to work, might your team have some room for a coding/prototyping UX developer/designer who has spent a lot of time thinking about AI-oriented HCI?

I think in 8 weeks of a co-op / or even part time basis, I could build out a ton of ideas you haven't gotten around to defining yet, but want to get a feel for the UX of. I'd love to hear from you (my email in in my profile).

While I do so love a good use of the word "wanker", this seems overly cynical to me, many systems which are tech islands succeed by growing an ecosystem, the console wars come to mind. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding you, certainly open to hearing more about your perspective Can you expand?
