Martin Burford

Veronica ZotaliBack-End Developer

I worked with Martin during my time at Zellar for nearly a year. He said once to me 'if you can't do something perfect, go find something else to do'. His performance justifies this saying. I can honestly recommend Martin for companies that are strict about coding standards, front-end architecture, and are only looking for seriously talented, lead front-end Engineers that breathe UI technologies. He was fully responsible for the development of v1 and v2 releases of the Zellar platform. He worked under very aggressive deadlines from the first sprint, merging pull requests consistently on a daily basis. He has excellent communication skills, is a great team player, and gets on with everyone. He doesn't accept messy work and is accurate and precise in his delivery estimations. Martin is an accomplished professional that I highly recommend as an elite lead engineer.

Adam ScottChief Product Officer

Martin joined the team to lead our Front-End software engineering capability. For a tech start-up helping to define how society and communities learn and utilise data to become sustainable, Martin's cross industry experience together with modern practices and skills helped us establish stable, efficient technologies and services. This mind and skillset was key in our ability to build greenfield digital products and services - Building fast is key, however, Martin's ability to have immensely practical conversations with the wider engineering, design and product teams allowed true value creation from the get go. Martin cares deeply about the customer experience and product performance. He is a modern, reliable and disciplined lead developer who I would not hesitate to recommend to any customer centric, data led, beautiful UI focused organisation. I look forward to working with you again Martin.

I worked with Martin at Zellar. He's an incredibly accountable, proficient & diligent developer who deeply cares about all aspects of the product. He laser focuses on the task at hand and delivers it to the highest quality without wasting a second. Martin doesn't hesitate to put his ideas forward to make the product even better, in a way that's backed up with data or user insight. I highly recommend him to any modern engineering team.
