Pablo Deeleman is a former UX designer and frontend engineer who discovered the Web back in the 90s, when a 14,400 bps modem was the key to an unparalleled world of marvels and a build-your-own-website was the name of the game.

After getting his BA (Hons) degree in marketing and moving through different roles in the advertising arena, he took his chance and evolved into a self-taught, passionate UX designer and frontend developer with a crunch for beautifully crafted CSS layouts and JavaScript thick clients, having produced countless interactive designs and web desktop and mobile applications ever since.

During these years, he has fulfilled his career as both an UX designer and frontend developer by successfully leading Internet projects for a wide range of clients and teams, encompassing European online travel operators, Silicon Valley-based start-ups, international heavy-traffic tube websites, global banking portals, or gambling and mobile gaming companies, just to name a few. At some point along this journey, the rise of Node.js and single-page-application frameworks became a turning point in his career, being currently focused on building JavaScript-driven web experiences.

After having lived and worked in several countries, Pablo Deeleman currently lives in Barcelona, Spain, where he leads the frontend endeavor in the Barcelona studio of Gameloft, the world leader in mobile gaming, and the home of internationally acclaimed games, such as Despicable Me: Minions Rush and Asphalt 8.

When not writing books or taking part in industry events and talks, he spends most of his time fulfilling his other passion: playing piano and guitar.
