I had the pleasure of working with Martin on our SaaS application involving Next.js and React, and I must say his expertise in these areas is exceptional. Martin possesses a deep knowledge of both Next.js and React, and his natural understanding of CSS is evident in the results he achieves. What impressed me the most was his systematic and structured approach to work. He meticulously plans and executes each task, which greatly contributed to the overall success of the project. Moreover, Martin has an intuitive ability to solve nasty bugs, which proved to be invaluable on many occasions. His dedication and passion for coding are evident in the quality of his work. I would be more than happy to work with Martin again and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a talented and professional developer.

Martin has been exceptional to collaborate with. Navigating a greenfield backend came with its fair share of bugs and breaking changes, but Martin masterfully dodged these challenges, consistently delivering on a sleek front-end. His profound knowledge is clear, yet it's his patience in explaining and troubleshooting that truly shines. Martin isn't just a skilled Developer - he's a collaborative powerhouse, seamlessly blending `work smarter, not harder` with genuine hard work. Any team would greatly benefit from Martins expertise.

I have had the privilege of placing Martin with them, they were blown away after an initial chat and wanted to offer. Martin completed a 12 month contract with excellent feedback, leaving the client happy and their project in a strong position for the permanent team to carry on with. I am impressed by their exceptional feedback on Martins skills and dedication to his craft. This man is a talented developer with a strong focus on React, NodeJS and GraphQL along with other tech.
