About

Maarten de Haas

Sr. Front End Engineer / Designer / Creative Consultant

With over 21 years of experience as a professional I am fulltime passionately committed to designing and developing interactives for websites and touch screens for companies.

Previously I've been graphically, creatively and technically responsible for graphics and sport- and game software for many famous television productions in The Netherlands and abroad for more than 13 years. I have programmed a lot of software and made graphics for many well-known live game shows, sports broadcasts and talk shows on live television, such as Een tegen 100, Eredivisie soccer games, Euro Hockey League, Heartbeat, Nieuwsuur, The Next Uri Geller, Singing Bee and The Staatsloterijshow.

After that I also worked some time as a professional full stack / back-end webdeveloper for companies. But I decided years ago to fully specialize on high performance creative front-end development and interactive motion design for interactives and code-based animations for use on websites and on touch screens.

I know the graphical and technical capabilities in 2D and 3D, as well as the hiccups of different browsers and optimizations in order to get the best possible online performance.

I make sure your project both graphically and technically produces the best results, so you don't need to worry about that.

Next to this I love to run, surf on waves, make remixes and, if time allows me, social volunteer, like helping primary school kids to read.

You are the ideal client for Wigglepixel if...

You enjoy working with enthusiastic professionals who have a good command of their profession and who deliver the best work
It makes you happy if people work for you with passion and like to actively think along with you to unburden you. You simply cannot understand everything, so you enjoy doing business with a specialist
You would like to receive advice about opportunities for added value, but you would also like to be told honestly if something is unnecessary or can be done more efficiently
You like to do business honestly and based on trust and clear communication and for you counts 'a deal is a deal'
You are fed up with non-working technology and 'hassle afterwards'
You notice that you often opt for quality products and you understand that this is cheaper and more pleasant for you in the end and (the retention of) your customers, than a short-term pleasure from a price fighter, where the annoying side effects continue for a long time and you have a lot of time, money and energy costs
You like to work with professionals who always continue to learn and grow, use modern techniques and technologies and want to deliver every assignment even better and more beautifully than the last
You not only find it important that the technology works well, but you can also enjoy a fluent, intuitive and pleasant user experience and design and understand the added value of it

If you can answer 'yes' to more than 50% of the above points, there is a good chance that my method suits you and you like it and I definitely recommend that you contact me!

If besides this you also love water sports, to make music or like good music, I myself am crazy about artists like Nightwish, Beady Belle, Nitin Sawhney, Stromae, Eminem, La Pegatina and everything drum'n'bass/jungle, we will most probably click!
