I'm EJ Malek

It really all started for me as a 5yr old who was determined to find out how my Lionel train set worked by taking it apart. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Things can get out of control ( and expensive ) without a gameplan!
Carrying that lesson forward with me in life, I began my career in the video game industry with a startup consisting of 4 people, 2 desks and a vision. Gradually, it became an indipendent developer with over 100 employees.
As time went on, I discovered a talent for assisting startups who were trying to get off the ground.
Eventually, I had the honor of leading teams and working next to some of the most talented names in the industry.
Utilizing the skills I acquired through game development, I emerced myself into the world of web development where I discovered an interest in backend technologies. Design is the sizzle, but structure is the steak.
As technologies evolved, I found my comfort levels to be equal for both coding and design.
My primary focus now is building accessible, imapactful and optimized experiences for clients. It is rewarding to find the sweet spot where design and engineering meet.
When I'm not working in my office, you can find me doing something outdoors with my best friend (my wife) or throwing frisbees with my "little maniac", Chief.
