Who I Am

About Me

A motivated developer from Liepāja, now based in Rīga — transitioning from vocational programming into active web development.

I'm Emīls Balandiņš, a 23-year-old Software Developer and qualified Programming Technician based in Rīga, Latvia.

Highly motivated Programming Technician with 1 year of experience in web development. Skilled in various programming languages including C++, PHP, JavaScript, and TypeScript — eager to apply my knowledge in a challenging and dynamic environment. Adept at learning new technologies with strong problem-solving skills.

After graduating from Liepājas Valsts tehnikums, I gained professional experience at OmnixiaDev building web apps with Node.js and TypeScript, and I'm now seeking my next development opportunity in Rīga.

Interactive Projects

This section exists to demonstrate my skills in action — not just list them. Each project below is a fully working mini-app you can use directly in your browser.

Why interactive?

A CV tells you what someone claims to know. These demos show what they can actually build — with clean UI, working logic, and attention to detail. Open any card to launch the live demo.
