Kaveri KhanejaSoftware Developer

I had the pleasure of working closely with Martin during the development of three brand new content based websites at Frieze, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most skilled Frontend Developers I’ve worked with. As a Lead Frontend Developer, Martin bought a depth of knowledge and expertise in HTML, CSS and React to the team. His approach in building clean, scalable, and reusable components became the foundation for our shared component library across the three sites and a maintainable codebase. He approached problems with a proactive mindset, always thinking ahead and suggesting thoughtful improvements. He also brought a collaborative spirit to the table with his willingness to mentor others on the team, and sharing knowledge generously. Martin is a highly capable and detail-oriented Frontend Developer and any team would be lucky to have him. Highly recommended!

Rachele RosinaDigital Product Manager

I had the pleasure of working with Martin while rebuilding three high-visibility websites (April 2024 - April 2025). He has been an invaluable asset to our team, consistently providing clear, detailed updates on his weekly progress, frequently collaborating with other developers to tackle challenges and jumping in wherever needed. He also patiently handled evolving requirements and delivered meticulous documentation to ensure a smooth handover. A standout contribution was his thorough use of Storybook. By organizing our codebase and making it easy to reference and reuse, Martin demonstrated a genuine commitment to the future success of our project. His methodical mindset, clear communication, and collaborative spirit make him an outstanding front-end developer. I highly recommend Martin for any team seeking a professional who genuinely cares about quality work.

Danny BullChief Technical Officer

Martin is one of those rare developers who know and love their craft and is very, very good at it. He built us a front-end framework (from scratch) that is truly mobile friendly, incredibly performant, adaptable, and which will take us in to the next stages of our growth and beyond. One of the best developers I’ve worked with in 25 years. He also happens to be easy to work with and can lead a team with grace and ease. If you get a chance to hire Martin, you should hire Martin.

John O GradyM365 & SharePoint Architect

Martin is an exceptional Developer - I had the pleasure of working alongside him on an Intranet project, where we aimed to create a highly customized user interface for a client using React & SharePoint. Martins ingenious approach allowed us to seamlessly integrate custom React components with SharePoint graph data. Throughout the project, Martins attention to detail, professionalism and deep knowledge of Web Development played a pivotal role. Working with Martin was an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

John AdamsSharePoint, Office 365 and Front-End Developer (React, SPFX, TeamsFX)

I worked with Martin on a custom intranet solution based on the SharePoint platform. Martins role was to create custom designed, fully responsive React components/ UX framework, which could then be imported into an SPFX React project. Martins solution was extremely well made and allowed for many different customizations. Martin took immense pride in his work and working with Martin was a pleasure; we were able to meet the clients needs in a very short amount of time. I would recommend Martin to any company looking for a true expert front end developer and want things done properly. I look forward to working with Martin again.

David PynorHead of Technology

This isn't the first and won't be the last time we have engaged Martin. He stepped in to a brilliant project, but one that certainly needed all of his input, expertise and experience, before delivering some fantastic work. I'm not sure how many people out there could have delivered on each separate aspect that we needed to call on him for. Martin really went above and beyond in getting this project where it needed to be and I am really grateful for his hard work. If you're looking for someone of Martins skillset, then you won't regret bringing Martin in.

Harry PandherTechnical Project Manager

Martin and I worked together in early 2024 and hit it off straight away. We are both very process driven and strived to deliver the best solution. Martin is an excellent Front-end Developer and one of the best that I have had the pleasure to work with. Meticulous in his approach and his attention to detail is second to none. He is a very knowledgeable Developer and can produce sensible and feasible solutions on the fly and implement them in a structured way following best practices at all times. He is very adaptive when hit with a problem or issue and his work is of a very high standard. I would highly recommend him to any employer. He is straight to the point and a great addition to any team. I would be very happy to work with him again.

Ian ShawCEO

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.

Callum PritchardSenior 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.

Ash AliIT Technology recruitment specialist

I have been working with a key client who needed a strong developer for a greenfield project, the client has been very particular and needed someone to take a lead on the project. 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. If you need someone who can deliver get in touch with him.

Ben StocktonChief Product Officer

Martin worked with us for around 9 months on a new user interface for our software product. We are a start-up, most of us having never worked in a software business before. Martin is a highly skilled front-end developer. We had many challenges on the interface design and development, but demonstrated his adaptability and experience in dealing with those challenges very well. He provides constant updates on his work, and tailors them to the needs of his clients. I would highly recommend Martin for any business (including smaller businesses like ours) who are in need of an experienced front end developer.

Priyadarshini TamilselvanSoftware Developer

I had the pleasure of working with Martin on a recent project where he served as a React/NextJs contractor, and his work was exceptional. Martin brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the project, demonstrating a deep understanding of React and its related technologies. He was able to develop complex features and functionality with ease, using best practices and ensuring code quality and maintainability. Throughout the project, Martin showed excellent communication skills, keeping the team updated on progress and providing insightful recommendations. He was also able to work independently, demonstrating a strong work ethic and a high level of self-motivation. I was particularly impressed by Martins ability to work within tight timelines without compromising on quality. His dedication to meeting project deadlines while ensuring high standards of work was truly remarkable. In summary, I highly recommend Martin for any React development role. His skills, knowledge, and professionalism make him a valuable asset to any team, and I am confident he will excel in any position he undertakes.

Paul BidderVP Sales CX & Commerce

I've had the pleasure of working with Martin over the last year and I've been really impressed with the way in which he applies himself to the task/ask. It is the level of technical detail that impressed me most about Martin, he does not just give a top-line idea of how the solution will work, he goes into the true Atomic deconstruction of the request to ensure that everything is understood. It is then his level of detail in explaining how the solution will be built that is super impressive, and you can just sit there and see that he knows his onions and will be a very very safe pair of hands on getting your solution delivered. It has been a really awesome experience working with Martin, I've been able to trust him to deliver for me time and again and I hope that we will work together again in the future.

Richard MathiasTechnology Director

I had the pleasure of being involved with Martin at the recruitment stage, and worked with Martin on a few engagements whilst he was at LiveArea. Where I found it a struggle sometimes to navigate the increasingly complex and ever-evolving domain of front-end technologies, Martin always possessed that clarity of vision, purpose and outcomes to make sure we could deliver what's best for both us and the client. If you want someone to inspire individuals as well as lead the client in doing the right thing, Martin's your guy!

Matthew ChallisTeam Lead

I placed Martin in his last permanent role, during the interview process the hiring manager described him as one of the best developers he had ever spoken to! Needless to say he got the role and during his time there did some awesome work. I have known Martin for a long time, he is direct, honest and easy to work with and always happy to help. Will always recommend and look forward to working with him again in the future.

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.

Alex KickhamProduct Designer

Working with Martin at Zellar was a breath of fresh air, he came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. Always striving for better, challenging design, suggesting improvements, making sure that everything he creates is of the highest quality - highly recommended

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.

Eren GokcekProduct Manager

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.

Craig WillsManaging Director

I had the privilege of working with Martin on a cutting-edge AI project at Hi Mum! Said Dad. His skills as a Front-End Developer were essential to our success. What sets Martin apart is his ability to solve problems efficiently and his "just get on with it" attitude. His proactive approach accelerated our project, and his technical expertise ensured that we were always ahead of the curve. I highly recommend Martin; he's a fantastic asset to any team.

Robin LewisScrum Master

I was recently lucky enough to have Martin join a team for which I am the ScrumMaster. Martin joined the project mid-way through, and had no problem in quickly getting himself up to speed on the work required of him. More than that though, from my point of view as a ScrumMaster, I was very impressed with how Martin always made sure to keep me up to date with the status of his work and any impediments he could foresee that I could help to remove. In my opinion, Martin is a dedicated and thorough developer, and I would be more than happy to work with him again in the future!

Todd FrancisTechnical Development Lead

Martin picked up the project really quickly and was making valuable commits from the get go. He was great to work with, very personable and I'd be happy to work with him again on future projects.

Marta MoskwaProduct Designer

I can highly recommend Martin to you. He cares about the details of UI component design and makes sure they look just like they've been designed. He represents both the technical and artistic sides of development, making it easy to explain design ideas to him. Martin showed a very positive attitude during our collaboration and I hope to work with him again in the future.

Gary ButtonSenior Back-End Developer

Martin is one of the most organised and on the ball developers I've worked with. Produces clean, well written code as well as documenting and clearly explaining his approach. Confident in raising issues and asking questions whilst keeping calm and collected with clients. 10/10!

Sharif MackySenior Associate

A highly organised developer with good technical analytical skills. Super attentive to details. His insistence on getting things done right are second to none yet always manages to deliver on time. He also has a keen willingness to help out. Overall it was a pleasure working with Martin and someone I'd enjoy working with again.

Andrea AgueciUX Researcher

I had the pleasure of working with Martin on the Strong Customer Authentication programme at Lloyds Banking Group. He was instrumental in the creation and maintenance of several customer research prototypes and I particularly appreciated his ability to quickly produce multiple iterations in response to user feedback. When required, Martin also delivered bespoke solutions to address specific project challenges like copy management and prototype archiving. The quality of his documentation and his ability to keep the team up to date about the state of the codebase were equally impressive.

Dan KupferSenior Creative Technology Lead

Martin is an extremely competent and thorough developer. Very committed and reliable, he's someone that will get the job done efficiently, neatly, with a lot of care for the detail but above all, very well thought through so it's really well documented and well tested making collaboration a seamless part of the agile workflow.

Sam KnessUX Designer

I worked with Martin for close to 7 months at Lloyds. I’m a UX Designer and he was the developer in our team. He is extremely knowledgeable in what he does and also has the added bonus of writing code in the best way for the end user too, which is a rare talent amongst developers in my experience. He is tenacious and hard working in his approach to work and I found him very easy to work with. I really enjoyed working with Martin and would welcome the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Richard WoodsSenior Back-End Developer

I worked with Martin as part of a 6-month project developing a new internal business system, with him handling the entire front-end code. His attention to detail is second to none, both in the specification of the work and the communication about it. Despite a tight timescale, we produced a highly successful application. On a professional level he is completely focused on the task, but still always had time to offer support and advice when there were issues, but also personally I very much enjoyed working with him from the start. It’s fair to say that his level of commitment in striving for perfection really shows on the end product.

Chris HaslamTalent Acquisition

Martin backed up everything that was said about him prior to him joining Biglight. He's professional, fast and there’s no BS. It's not the first time we have worked together and it won't be the last.

Paul FinanDirector

Martin is the epitome of professionalism. Very detail orientated, Martin provided step-by-step documentation to work completed for the client and of course, he delivered when he said he would. In all my years of me doing this, I hold Martin in very high regard when it comes to work ethic, technical knowledge, approach and his overall professionalism when tasked with a project. I'll be looking him up again soon.

Anders JensenFront-End Developer

I really enjoyed working with Martin at Tangent! He's a great Developer and a really funny guy. We worked together on a project for a big client, which had a tight deadline plus an incredible workload and I can't thank him enough for his help. More than anything, I am grateful for Martins ability to take on a brief and deliver quality results. I had to oversee a few other projects at the same time, so I wasn't always present, but I knew that I could trust Martin with whatever task he'd get. He is perfectly able to work independently and will make sure to eliminate any wrong assumptions or ambiguities. This is really important in my opinion. Likewise he is also a great sport when working in a team, and he was always happy to help any of the other team members. Martin is a top professional. He keeps track of all tasks and is incredibly informative, writing documentation and a daily note of what he has completed. I hope I'll get the pleasure of working with him again, because that’s what it was ... a real pleasure.

Louise SimpsonSenior Project Manager

Martin joined our project team at a critical point in delivery and without him we would not have been able to deliver our project. He worked brilliantly as part of the team and under extreme time pressures, with the added complexity of joining in the second phase of the project. His extensive knowledge of front-end development was absolutely vital in finding solutions to complex conditional forms and many other key components. His documentation and explanation of his work not only benefited our team but also our partner, and will benefit future teams supporting the project. He was also very able and willing to lead and guide other members of the team. He is very well organized and fully responsible for his own workload. As a Project Manager I did not once have to worry about Martin delivering on time or the quality of his work. I would recommend Martin to anyone looking for a highly skilled Developer and I would work with him again without hesitation. He is a brilliant asset to any project team.

Iustin Daniel Balta Cojocaru StanQA/Web Manager

Martin was one of the first contractors I have had the pleasure to work with on a project with a very important client. The project was very time critical, and I have to say that, hands down, Martin is one of the best Developers I have encountered. For me, he shattered the idea that some people have about contractors where they do not care about the projects they are working on. He was more involved and interested in the project than people who were actually fully employed on the project. He is a highly skilled Developer who never takes a back seat or cannot be bothered to help, explain or fix an issue. He is a very detailed person who doesn't crack under pressure and he knows how to explain something so that everyone understands (be it on a ticket or verbally). He also takes the time to make sure that the same point of view is reached by all in the end. He has some of the cleanest code I have ever come across. Couple this with the high level of details he provides in Jira tickets, and it made checking and testing a breeze. Working with Martin was a joy not only because he was a devoted worker who gave his time for anybody that needed it, but also due to the fact that he is a very interesting and fun person with a lovely personality that made it a treat to be around. I truly hope to work alongside him again. Highly recommended for any type of project, big or small.

Martin CoyneCreative Director / Owner

Martin has been an invaluable member of our extended team helping to deliver an elegant solution on time and on budget but more importantly one that has exceeded our client expectation. Having worked with many developers I can honestly say that I have never worked with one as methodical as Martin. This installed a great level of confidence in the studio and enabled him to become quickly embedded as part of our team. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin and hope to work with him again soon. Highly recommend.

Jason HancockDigital Director

Martins extensive knowledge of front-end development and process made sure that we weren't restricted when it came to design or creative within a tight timeline. He doesn't just know one way of doing things, he knows many and will happily share the options, the impact and accurate timelines for each. This allowed us to clearly communicate with the client and manage expectations throughout an ever changing project that concluded in us delivering a solid build above client expectations, on time and on budget. We can recommend Martin without hesitation and will hopefully get to work with him again in future on further development of this project or any other challenging builds that need that higher level of expertise Martin offers.

Lucy HarmerSenior Designer

Martin joined us at Bond and Coyne right at the beginning of a project when a number of different parts were still being developed and evolving often on a daily basis. He responded to changing demands that were passed his way in an unflappable manner which gave me confidence that the project was being driven forward in very capable hands. His expertise is clear, and his work ethic to be admired, particularly with the short notice demands that the project placed on him. It was a pleasure getting to know Martin and I would highly recommend him for anyone who needs a rock solid web build.

Nick YorkeRecruiter

Martin recently completed a 3 month project for a client of mine, which has been a very smooth process with excellent results. Martins organisation, communication and overall technical delivery has been brilliant, providing daily updates on progress as well as forecasted plans has given the client and myself absolute clarity, proving to be assuring for all parties involved. Moreover, Martins timekeeping and punctuality is second to none, and his collaborative and personable approach has allowed for a very successful project in which he has worked closely with both internal and external stakeholders. I highly recommend Martin and look forward to working with him again.

Sebastien RousseauHead of Digital and Mobile Banking Development

Martin is an exceptional lead web developer, very passionate, extremely focused in his approach to his work with a remarkable attention to detail. He was able to jump in on a very complex project, communicated efficiently technical blockers and delivered creative solutions. He gave excellent feedback to the UX/Design team, took active interest in the overall development process and wrote clean, well documented and highly maintainable code with an end-result that always has been better than we had imagined. I was glad to work with him and would be happy to do so again -- Highly recommended.

Ritu AroraSenior Test Strategist

Martin is the complete package for any front-end development work. He knows his job inside out and is happy to work with multiple different technologies. He goes the extra mile in order to deliver top class solutions within project time frames. When you work with him, it's impossible to not notice his vast experience in the industry and the reputation he has gained over many years. He has an unstoppable source of energy and passion towards the success of the program he works on. I have seen him spend time to analyse the work and requirements at hand, before jumping straight to a solution or implementation. He is a team player and a fun loving guy to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to any employer who are seeking a top notch front-end developer. Undoubtedly, he would be a great asset to any team.

Martin is a very detail-oriented individual and is extremely hands-on regarding the technologies he works with. He produced great work for the project we were both recently involved with. The best thing he does is the notes he writes for the whole days activities which gives a very detailed picture of all of his amazing work. He helped fellow colleagues on numerous occasions. I have found out that he is an expert in JavaScript, HTML5 and responsive web development. I can simply say "Martin knows his stuff!!!"

Robyn BackhouseScrum Master/Project Manager

Martin is a really motivated, passionate developer who is always looking for ways to improve performance and maintainability of the product. He is great fun to have in a team, keeping a smile on his face even when under pressure and keeping the mood light with his dry sense of humour. He loves nothing more than a challenge to which he can put his awesome mind to solve in the best possible way. Always very productive, Martin is hardworking, broad-minded and very forward thinking. Intelligent, ambitious and energetic, he's a real asset on any team, always ready and willing to help others whenever he can. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Kolade SalamiScrum Master

Where do I start ... Martin is simply exceptional in every way and a true professional in every sense. I met and worked alongside Martin on the most complex yet business critical projects at Trinity Mirror. Martin was a key part to the overall success of the project. Martins commitment to the team and project is amazing. I've worked with many developers as a contractor for over 15 years and this man stands out. A brilliant mentor to both senior and junior developers alike. He's a solutions provider, a problem solver, a team player, a stakeholder manager and a truly magnificent senior developer and a great guy. I highly recommend him and he will be number 1 on my list in the near future.

Tracey BryantProject Manager

Martin is a very talented, focused and dedicated developer. He delivers high quality, well structured and easily maintainable code. Martin is a pleasure to work with, his professionalism shines through in all situations, he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and nothing is too much trouble for him. In my role as project manager I had every confidence in him to deliver the goods, and he never let me down. Martin would be an enormous asset to any team, I hope I'll get the chance to work with him again in the future.

Adriana StanSoftware Developer

Working with Martin in a digital media project was a great and amazing experience. During this period I’ve managed to discover a lot of interesting things about him. I can say that he is always open to provide assistance to his teammates, even though he always has a lot of work to do. Being team focused, he always puts the team first. He loves sharing knowledge with others every time he discovers something new, and he is always the person to suggest new ideas to implement in our day-to-day work. When he finished at Trinity Mirror, he made sure that everyone was comfortable with the code he was handing over, as he left the team a huge email where all his coding had been heavily documented. This was very much appreciated. I have definitely learnt a lot from him and he is certainly one of my favourite people that I will recommend for any project or team.

Daniel LandesProduct Manager, Advertising & Data

Martin joined my team to help us out with a particularly tricky ad issue we needed to resolve before our new sites could launch. He worked autonomously, building a really clever bespoke solution which answered complex requirements and is now being sold by commercial teams across the business. Martin has a real understanding of good UX, and with his significant technical experience and thorough documentation, he has been a great help to the team.

Alexandra DiaconuSenior Tester

Working with Martin in a digital media project was a great and rewarding experience for me as a tester. As a Senior Front-End developer, he was a great asset to our entire team and I am sure that he would prove to be a great asset for any project and team, regardless of the work complexity. Not only is Martin an easy-going person, positive and approachable, but he proved to also be a great professional in his field of activity, always willing to share from what he knows and to help the testing team with valuable details and instructions. Martin is hard-working, very motivated and perseverant when dealing with tasks. He is always the first person to start investigating issues and doesn't give up until he both finds and implements the best solution. He provides a lot of support to newcomers, helping them to get integrated quickly into the team. He follows the tasks assigned to him through their entire lifecycle, providing valuable inputs to testers, other developers and the management team. It is a pleasure to work with such an enjoyable person that is so much aware of the technologies in his field of activity and that is so involved in every project that he starts working on. I wholeheartedly recommend Martin for any project or team, as he is surely going to be a perfect match.

I found Martin to be a very experienced and detail-oriented senior developer. It was a great experience working with him as he has a great talent in explaining complex scenarios in simple terms, making the testers (such as myself) feel comfortable. I have never felt that I was working with a senior guy since Martin is a very down to earth person. I definitely hope we can cross paths in the future and could never forget the jokes he cracked in the daily stand up meetings.

Huan ZhangFront-End Developer

As someone who has almost more years of JavaScript experience than my age, Martin is surprisingly down to earth and easy to work with. I still remember him helping me with an array map problem during my first week at Trinity Mirror and he has always been happy to help, happy to explain the reasons behind decisions and in general happy to pass on all his years of experience onto anyone willing to learn. I have definitely learnt a lot from working with Martin and he is certainly one of my favourite people in the office.

Bogdan ChebacSenior Front-End Developer

Few people get the rare opportunity to work with an incredible developer such as Martin. I had the pleasure to work with him throughout the beginning of 2016 and I have never seen a developer deliver code as fast as he did with the utmost attention to detail and clean code standards, I was always in awe of his capabilities. Martin was able to juggle several tasks at once all while being a mentor figure to yours truly, offering both challenge and support when the task at hand required it. Not to mention it made a dramatic difference in the team's productivity level. No matter what kind of a meeting/stand-up/planning it was, Martin always provided helpful feedback and solutions even for the most challenging of issues. As a team member or a leader, Martin earns my highest recommendation.

Keelia HessScrum Master

Martin is an excellent developer, producing superb output. He is detail-oriented and focuses on keeping high standards of development. He's able to find solutions to complicated problems, his performance is always outstanding and he works well both in teams and on his own. He always carried out the tasks assigned to him with self-initiative and great care and is a creative individual with considerable knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend him.

Mike PearceProgramme Manager

Martin is one of the most thorough and dedicated front end software engineers I've had the pleasure to work with. His understanding of the technology, coupled with his passion to make it flawless, modular and scalable helped with, amongst other things, maintaining an ever-changing codebase and onboarding new team members immeasurably easier. His contributions to planning, estimating and retrospectives were incredibly valuable with insight into the inner workings of the team that often led to profound changes to working practices. I would welcome the chance to work with Martin again.

Jyothish NairCreative Director

Martin is one of the best Front-end Developer I have met so far in my entire career. His passion for quality is absolutely mind blowing. He is always looking to improve his standards not just to satisfy his own quest but also to go above and beyond the project brief. I have worked with Martin in two companies - Sapient Nitro and at Barclays Design Office most recently. At Barclays, we were doing some challenging work that needs a lot of patience and in-depth knowledge of coding for the mobile web. Martin as always found creative ways to work with the existing code, not throwing away the work that has been done by existing developer community. He had found ways to clean the existing code and bring the development team to a much higher standard. I will always look forward to working with him not just on official projects, but also on personal projects. If I were to have an 'A' team for any of my work, the first person I'd get in touch with for front-end coding and UI development would be Martin.

Richard LockeFront-End Developer

I worked with Martin for several months at Barclays. If you want someone who does not shy away from a challenge, then Martin is that someone. He learnt GruntJS whilst working alongside me. As soon as he had grasped the concepts of how Grunt worked, he then went on to come up with a great solution using it. One thing is for certain, Martin knows JavaScript. There is not much about JavaScript he does not know. All of his code is clean and consistently formatted with meaningful comments throughout. Using his attention to consistency, Martin helped bring that to the team along with some more advanced coding concepts. He also managed to bring his JavaScript coding consistency and best practices to Sass/Scss. Whilst we worked together, Martin also helped mentor a junior member of the team, imparting his knowledge and experience.His vast experience and exposure to technology is something that would benefit any team Martin is part of. I would definitely work with him again if our paths crossed. Highly recommended.

It's rare to come across a talent like Martin. When it comes to front-end web development the man really knows his stuff. I had the pleasure of working with Martin (again) at Barclays where he supported me and delivered on a complex multi-faceted design and development project for the past year. He also showed me technical leadership, planning and mentoring qualities. He has a calm persona about him. I find him very approachable and highly engaging. On top of all that he's witty, loves a terrible pun and my dad jokes. He's an alright fella in my book and would love to work with him again...soon

Mohd AsadAssistant Vice President

I had the pleasure of working with Martin for a year in the Design Office project team at Barclays. He is one of the most accomplished developers I have come across. His knowledge about front-end development, especially advanced JavaScript is exceptional and I learned quite a lot about structured development whilst working with him.

Raj TaratRecruiter

Barclays had asked for a senior developer who they could trust to lead one of the largest, most complex programs at the bank. Martin deservedly has a reputation in the industry as an excellent front end developer and from our first conversation, it was clear that he was more than capable of delivering. He continually impressed from interview through to his last day working there and I've received excellent feedback for him. I'd highly recommend him!

I worked on a project with Martin at Barclays. Not only is he a friendly, professional person to work with but he really knows his trade. The quality of his work is so high that it inspires others to raise their game and he is always happy to share his knowledge, bounce ideas and adapt solutions to address evolving requirements. He will be missed.

Anastasija KrysaLead UX Designer

Martin was a lead developer on one of the biggest programmes at Barclays Plc. He was brought into the project to make sure that journeys designed by UI/UX team would look and work responsively across different devices and operating systems. He was mainly involved in developing a responsive component library that was to be used accross key areas of Barclays website and applications. From the very beginning of our work together Martin was very helpful with many useful suggestions and out of the box solutions for the project. His key strengths are - impressive development skills, knowledge of the latest web trends, problem-solving, pro-actively offering solutions, bringing creative ideas to the table, adapting to fast changing situations and being adept at all aspects of communications. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Martin for a Lead Developer role.

Giles McCartneyUI Consultant

Martin is an exceptionally talented, seasoned developer and is a pleasure to work with. Unusually, given his seniority, Martin is also flexible in his approach and will work in whatever way a project demands.Martin is highly self-motivated and left alone he will burn through work at a terrific rate. In fact you will need a small team to create enough work for him! If you have a world-class project then you need a world-class developer like Martin. I very much look forward to working with him again soon.

Claire LittleySenior Digital Creative Consultant

Martin has a real 'can-do' attitude and he always does his best to find a solution, even if it doesn't seem viable initially. He enjoys the challenge of making things work in code, but also is meticulous and driven to do things in the best and most efficient way possible. Martin's a lovely guy and I would definitely love to work with him again in the future.

Grant MaskellFreelance Digital Consultant

I worked with Martin over a period of 14 months as a contract front-end specialist for the Trinity Mirror Group. Initially starting on a 3 month contract, this was extended multiple times due to the contribution he made to improving the quality of UI with the organisation. Martins knowledge of front-end languages is exceptional. He contributed on a daily basis helping the UX and Design team at Trinity Mirror achieve its goal of creating interactive and user focused front-ends for a portfolio of products. I would recommend Martin for any position where you need a clever, hard working front-end specialist who takes pride in creating quality coded experiences.

Jim HowardProduct Manager

I worked with Martin on the high-profile prototype and live football projects at the Daily Mirror. I always found Martin personable and easy to work with – even when there was a great deal of pressure on us around key dates. His attention to detail was excellent and he is very knowledgeable on the platforms that we wanted to develop for, whilst ensuring we kept the quality we needed in a very competitive environment. He had an intrinsic understanding of the data we needed from multiple sources in order for the Product to work and how the availability of that data would impact on the front-end development. He was a key part in making sure that we had an initial front-end infrastructure in which the Product can develop over time. I would happily collaborate with Martin again in the future if the opportunity arose.

Chris LamLead Product Designer

I worked with Martin for just over a year on various projects at Trinity Mirror and we were sad to see him go. He is without a doubt the best front-end developer I have worked with. His attention to detail and communication skills were a real asset to the team and I learned a lot from his way of working. He was always willing to add his technical expertise during the design process and this thoroughly helped projects run smoothly.

Stuart CampbellSenior Front End Developer

Martin is an exceptionally talented, dedicated and productive front end developer. I both enjoyed working with him and learned a good deal - he has very strong technical skills but is also willing to adopt new techniques and processes. I began working with Martin towards the end of a project and his expertise was crucial to successfully handing the work over and leaving it in a maintainable state. He also produces very detailed and accurate documentation - a rarity amongst developers!

James BrewinRecruiter

The recommendations on LinkedIn clearly show that Martin is one of the best Developers around and I can only endorse this further. He not only has the highest standards in his work but also in the professional way he engages with you. He always gives you the time to talk through whatever is needed to work well together. I hope to work with him again in the future.

Adriaan PelzerLead Developer

Martin is one of the best software engineers I've ever worked with, and the best front end engineer. He produces extremely robust code, and stops at nothing to achieve his own extremely high standard. On top of that, Martin is an excellent communicator, always producing documentation with his code that meets the same high standards. If I had to hand-pick a team for a no-expenses-spared project, he'd be on it, without a doubt.

I've just finished working with Martin on a very challenging high profile FTSE 100 client project. Martin was pivotal to the projects success with his deep knowledge of responsive solutions and cross-platform technologies. He very confidently led the technical development from VML London, whilst also leading a remote development team in Russia, working across multiple integration environments and time zones. Immediately we formed a strong working relationship and I could sense a level of confidence that we were going to achieve great things. His dedication to the project and the project team was truly remarkable and he was always willing to go above and beyond to meet delivery targets, so much so that we even delivered the project 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Martin is one of the most talented, conscientious and committed programmers I have had the pleasure of working with. His technical leadership was outstanding throughout the entire project and speedy development, attention to detail and product quality was impeccable. He was always striving to drive the technical quality to the highest standards to create a superior end solution for the client. I can't recommend Martin highly enough and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Matt FennDesign Lead

Martin worked with us on three challenging projects as a front end developer. His work was excellent and he always added massive value. Martin has excellent attention to detail and always strives for the best possible final product. He naturally added polish to everything he worked on. I can not recommend Martin enough, without doubt he is one of the best front end developers I have worked with in the last 14 years. It would be a pleasure to work with him again.

Kelly BarkerSenior Project Manager

Martin came in as a freelancer to help out on a project and certainly did that. Martin’s technical ability, passion and willingness to get stuck in make working with Martin easy and enjoyable. Martin is always striving to create the best work and his proficient way of working allows this to happen. He has great attention to detail and is a great problem solver, explaining his process and decision making alone the way, giving everyone involved the understanding and confidence needed to get the project done. I couldn't recommend Martin enough and will certainly be trying to snap him up when I need more freelance cover.

Nadine DrelaudDigital Production Manager

If Carlsberg made developers ... Martin is a rarity - his vast experience, common sense, genius brain, passion for what he does and conscientious nature is what facilitates his obsession with best practise & creating the best work. He is a 'real developer' coding from scratch when needed in a fraction of the time it takes most developers and to a quality Tech directors can only dream of. Martin studied at St Martins, so has a creative eye, yet has an incredible technical brain, can communicate like 'normal people' explaining very technical 'stuff' in a way anyone can understand - just some of the the myriad of reasons that make him one of the best front end devs around. The work speaks for itself & so do his recommendations (& the people who recommend him).

Jason HylandTechnical Director

Martin worked with us on a front end interface project, I found him to be extremely professional, a fast and meticulous developer with an excellent eye for detail and design. His expert knowledge in his field gave me a lot of confidence and assurance when he promised delivery times. Would certainly work with Martin again.

Martin is a top-notch front end developer and object oriented coder who was clearly born to engineer. He is highly disciplined and approaches his subject with skill, organisation and extremely creative problem solving abilities. These undeniable attributes have clearly been honed through many years of hard earned experience and it really shows in his professionalism and attitude. He has a vast breadth of knowledge of all things software and web, and is undoubtedly at the forefront of where the web platform in particular is heading. In addition to being a code samurai he is inspirational to be around and highly personable company. Hire him before someone else does!

Tony VolpeTechnical Director

Martin's work is beyond reproach. His analytical skills to define a problem and tease out it's best solution not only saved our team hours of headache, but also lead to impeccable cutting edge code that would not have been possible without his help. If you are considering Martin for a position I cannot recommend him highly enough and I would hire him again without hesitation.

Katrina MaratheftisTechnical Lead & Director at ECOM

Martin is a fantastic Front-End Developer who has always been both reliable and produced some excellent results as well as lead many teams at some of our leading clients. We look forward to working with him in the long term and recommend him for his Front-End knowledge and high quality work.

Vincent RomanSenior Front-End Developer

What can I say that hasn't been said already? Festidious and knowledgeable, and capable of great things when left to roam free. An interesting period working with Martin and the others here at The Mill.

Sunny VirkWeb Devloper

I worked with Martin the tech lead at The Mill on the Acer project. I found him to be extremely sharp when it comes to front end coding skills. He is highly motivated, passionate and committed when it comes to making websites. I have worked as a UI Developer for 9 years and working with Martin for only a short period of time, I definitely picked up a few best practices that help the process go that little bit smoother. I would highly recommend him for any position he goes for and look forward to working with him in the future.

Luke RitchieProject Manager

Martin quickly impressed as an experienced developer who can manage himself or others at a senior level. I enjoyed thinking out solutions together and watch him quickly prototype proofs of concept. He's dependable and a good guy. We'll be working together again soon I'm sure.

Paul WorrallProgramme Manager

I had the pleasure of working with Martin for just over 3 months on a technically challenging, multi-platform development project. Martin joined as the lead Interface Developer, managing a team of 4. The breadth and depth of Martin's technical skills were hugely valuable to the team that he lead as well as the Java developers that used the QA approved code that Martin and his team produced. This was of particular benefit on this specific project due to the broad range of devices and browsers within the approved matrix. The project that we worked on a time sensitive and Martin worked extra hours, both in to the night and weekends to ensure that tight deadline was adhered to. Although Martin worked extra hours, the quality of his output did not drop. Martin took extra time to ensure that all of the code provided by the team was of the required standard and fit for purpose. Martin's excellent attention to detail and analytical approach provided clarity in structure that will ensure that the project is extensible and adaptable in future iterations. This robust approach will stand the permanent development team, and therefore the client relationship, in good stead for many months to come. If the chance rose again, I would not hesitate in re-hiring Martin. I hope our professional paths cross again in the not too distant future.

Andres GutierrezProject Manager

Martin was recommended by the technical lead on the project. At the time we were struggling for time and when Martin came in he made an immediate impact to the project. He worked on a JavaScript heavy component of the GP2 and GP3 sites; he didn't struggle at all where previous developers did. He showed superior knowledge of JavaScript and tremendous work ethic in order to get the job done. He was passionate for this project and he went that extra mile, which for a freelancer is rare. Without doubt I would recommend Martin as a solid senior front-end developer.

Diligent, creative and intelligent. Martin's breadth of knowledge of both the industry and building blocks of his trade is second to none. A developer who viewed a project as a whole and followed his vision through with great passion. As a person a great teacher and a pleasure to work with, i'd recommend Martin to anyone who'd care to listen

Afua AprakuTest Consultant

Martin displays great expertise in his field. He takes pride in his work and strives to develop to the best of his ability. His knowledge of interface development holds no bounds and he is instrumental to the success of the projects he works on.

Rory OliverProduct Owner

Martin and I worked together at LBi - the care, attention, diligence and professional level he brings to the projects he works on is obvious. A class act and a pleasure to work with.

Chris DenmanLead Engineer

Martin is a fantastic front-end developer, whilst working together at AKQA he demonstrated exceptional technical skills and professionalism. I recommend him to any organisation.

Pooja BaburajanQuality Assurance Manager

I enjoyed working with Martin and would recommend him to others. Martin is highly skilled in his domain. He respects the deadlines and commits to deliver within schedule. Even under a lot of pressure he does not compromise on quality and standards. He demonstrated a lot of flexibility in a chaotic unstable environment of changing requirements. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Martin HearnProject Manager

Martin is an extremely skilled front-end developer, who is able to work well under pressure, and communicate the importance of web standards to a wide audience. Crucially, he understands the importance of business deliverables and is able to prioritise and come up with technical solutions when time is short, at the same time never comprising on quality and always delivering to an extremely high standard.

Rajeevan KumarathasanWeb Developer

Martin is one of the best frontend developers I have worked with. He built our new website templates from scratch to a very high standard. Martin repeatedly showed a deep understanding of front-end technologies and the elegant use of JavaScript to add rich levels of interactivity. He was a great person to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend Martin, I hope to work with him in the future.

Dominic BurtLead Designer

Martin is definitely one of the best front end developers I have worked with. He produced pixel perfect CSS builds of my Photoshop designs as well as wonderfully slick and thoughtfully coded JavaScript interactivity and animation. His attention to detail and diligence is truly remarkable. He's also easy to get on with, which I think counts for a lot in this industry! It was a pleasure working with him, and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to do so again in the future.

Anika HenkeWeb Developer

Martin is an expert in all things front-end. I was especially pleased to find in him a colleague who likes to code "the right way" and makes no compromises in quality. He understands the importance of semantics, accessibility and maintainability and is extremely thorough in producing the best solutions across all browsers.

Nick BrettRecruiter

Martin has worked for one of my clients for the last three months and it has been an absolute pleasure working with him. He is an outstanding front-end/javascript developer who has very high standards and is very meticulous with his code; a true perfectionist! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Martin to any employer looking for a top-notch front-end/javascript developer as he has done a fantastic job for us and my client. I look forward to working with him again soon.

Christopher HoultLead Developer

Martin did an excellent job building our new templates from scratch to a very high standard. He showed excellent skill in creating work that degrades beautifully and took special care in making accessible pages. I would not hesitate to recommend Martin for any future roles, and I hope to work with him in the future.

Trent RosenbaumSenior Java Developer

Martin is a talented and self motivated individual. While working with Martin I was able to experience first hand his focused development and ability to explore the problem space. He was able to rapidly develop a solution and refine it to meet the current requirements.

Chris HaslamRecruiter

Martin not only helped us deliver for one of our biggest clients but did it before schedule, to a much higher standard then most would and stayed in contact throughout the process. It is very rare to find all of these qualities in one of your candidates. If you do, rule of thumb is to make sure he doesn't need to work for anyone else. I lost that battle and am truly disappointed. I would hire Martin again without a seconds thought...

Martin already came quite recommended but he didn't let that detract from proving he could do a very good job on a relatively sharp project. Would hire again.

David ClarkeTechnical Director

During the concepting stage of the project, it quickly became clear that we would need somebody with serious JavaScript skills to even get this app built, let alone within the timeframes and to the levels of performance we required. Martin was the first person to spring to mind and he didn't let us down. Professional, flexible, great communicator and above all a superb coder - I can't wait to have him back for phase II.

Dev BhukyaSenior Project Manager

It is my pleasure to recommend Martin to any organisation, he is technically very strong and did a great job on a web-analytics migration project whilst working at Wunderman.

Charles HeadAccount Director

Martin did an exceptional job on a recent web metrics project. He is a responsible and insightful developer with a great skill to analyze and summarize ideas.

Graham WarrenInternal Recruiter

Martin is a developer who always exceeds and constantly delivers great work, on time and as per the spec. A real talent and a safe pair of hands to have around.

Pedro AlonsoLead Software Engineer

Martin is a very talented and challenge driven web developer. He has a really good understanding of how the web works, and that allows him to build complex platforms at the highest standards. It has been very straightforward to integrate the front-end that he has been in charge of, with the back end code of the application, his advice and documentation to make integration smoother have been great. I look forward to work with him again!

Lill SkjerdalExecutive Producer

Martin has recently worked on a large Retail project at R/GA and has been in charge of all the front end (user interface) programming for a bespoke Admin Tool that's been created as part of the project. Due to very tight deadlines the project requires a great deal of autonomy and initiative from all team-members and Martin has been the ideal person to have on such a project. He's super-good at what he does, has a logical approach to his work that ensures that you get correct outcome even if you're not managing and reviewing his work on a frequent basis, which has been vital to our progress and success for us. Martin also finds great solutions, understands the user-perspective really well and is a perfectionist, so what you get in the end will work, it will be intuitive and it will look nice too! I think I'll want Martin on all my projects of this type in the future!

Richard TaylorHead of Project Manager

Martin took over a project and instantly demonstrated his expertise and domain knowledge; the system suffered from performance, maintenance and reliability issues which Martin quickly identified and fixed in a logical and calm manner while always ensuring the issues and solutions were explained and understood by stakeholders. As a result, Martin left a stable and well documented system which met all of our functional and non-functional requirements. Wouldn't hesitate in hiring him again!

Jamie ChaffeyTechnical Director

We required a developer to come in at short notice and hit the ground running on a challenging project, and Martin was a great choice for this. He worked well alongside the team, proactively suggesting new approaches where appropriate, but being pragmatic and conscious of the constraints of deadlines and budget also. Our project was quite complex and required an expert in JQuery, which Martin undoubtedly is. His expertise was invaluable as was his ability to accurately predict the amount of time required for a particular workload, making allocation of resources, and project management, much simpler.

Danna KoonceHead of Delivery

I have worked with Martin on several occasions in several agencies and I believe that it is fair to say that we have mutual respect and admiration for each other. Martin values people who work hard alongside him and likewise, he gives the same dedication and commitment to all of the projects he is involved with. I have no idea how to translate most of the mumbo jumbo tech stuff Martin talks to me about, but one thing is for sure, no stone goes unturned when you work with him. I found him extremely effective and valuable in helping me pinpoint many of the project risks early on in the planning process as well as finding him to be a tremendous support during the critical path of delivery. He just makes sense in planning out the approach of delivery and seeing it through. He is definitely a leader in his domain with the ability to manage people as well as rapidly and effectively firefight the burning issues. I love working with him as he gets the job done and does not suffer fools in the process. He is also funny, amiable and just a pleasure to engage with, even when it is the 11th hour and the sky is falling. I always feel confident with Martin working alongside me.

Ian DruryProject Manager

Martin was our Interface Developer on a very large, complex and key project for LBi, and was solely responsible for all front end development for the Houses of Parliament rebuild. Martin's professionalism and thoroughness were outstanding. He developed all HTML, CSS, JavaScript and the outputs were of a very high quality resulting in high client satisfaction and, importantly, produced very few issues from testing. His knowledge extended beyond his core activities however and he was a constant reference for issues from accessibility to mobile development. His work rate is also to be noted, he was responsible for keeping this workstream ahead of schedule whilst not compromising quality, to a degree which I personally feel sets him aside from his peers. Martin is first to mind now on all new projects as I know the quality of work he will produce, and I hope to have him back on a project in the future.

Stuart LoRecruiter

I would describe Martin as a very talented, smart UI developer, his approach is flexible and he understands complex UI challenges that my clients are faced with on a regular basis. Martin is one of the first people I contact for any UI assigment, definately an obvious choice for me.

Fabrizio CiceroSenior Applications Developer

Martin worked with me, as an Interface Developer, on a key project for LBi. It was a pleasure to work with Martin throughout the project lifecycle. He worked consistently with great interest and passion for high quality Web 2.0 delivery. In the 6 months I worked with Martin, he produced an XHTML strict, progressively enhanced front end which worked seamlessly with an EPiServer backend. His clear and concise communication skills along with his understanding of integration points with CMS platforms were a blessing on a project which had tight deadlines and changing requirements. He architected and built, along with the team, an excellent front end framework accompanied with hand over documentation which is still being used today. He is a credit to the success of the project and I have no hesitation in recommending Martin on any other projects I am involved in.

Sean JohnstonRecruiter

I'm very happy to endorse Martin, as he is without doubt, one of the strongest Web Interface Development contractors currently working in the UK. He has the unique ability to quickly recognize the challenges faced by my clients and more importantly to propose and implement solutions that exceed their expectation. He has a consultative approach and integrates well with my client's project teams and this, coupled with his extensive top-quality technical skills, always ensures delivery and a happy customer. Furthermore he's a damn nice chap and a pleasure to deal with - thoroughly recommended.

Bahareh Boostani.Net Developer

Martin did a fantastic job during his time at LBi. His understanding of the UI development technologies and deep interest in the latest programming techniques contributed to major achievement in the working practices of the development team of the HoP project, particularly with regards to his effort in developing reusable modules and facilitating integration with back end code. His sound knowledge coupled with an easy-going and friendly outlook, made him a joy to work with.

Natalie MorrishRecruiter

I can 100% recommend Martin as an excellent technologist. He is a highly knowledgable individual in the digital media industry. He is a top guy with great experience in what he does and I hope to have the opportunity to continue working with him over the next few years.

Martin is an innovative and experienced expert, understands complex matters even when outside of his direct area of expertise. Has an in-depth understanding of modern web technologies.I wish him good luck for all his project.

Saiprasad KrishnamurthyJava Developer

I'm delighted to write a recommendation of Martin whom I worked with in a completely web-based project @ Autoquake. This project is basically about building a strong and robust architecture for the Autoquake.com website to be able to re-skin to multiple flavors. Martin's skills and expertise in the area of CSS/Javascript/AJAX was simply fantastic and was just what we needed to make our website a world-class one. Our website's front-end architecture was completely laid by Martin and he was the one to define all the standards and guidelines. The design was very robust yet flexible enough to make changes very easy for us in the future. Apart from his deep knowledge in Javascript/AJAX/CSS, it's definitely worth to mention is about his professionalism, patience and sense of humour. It was really a pleasure, fun and a great learning experience working with Martin and he is certainly one of the guys who I want to work with again.

Sameer GargTechnical Lead

Martin posesses great frontend skills. He is an absolute expert in javascript, html, css, ajax, seo friendly html. He is a keen learner and adapts really well. He worked just for three months with autoquake in which he not only rewrite whole autoquake.com presentation tier but also created affinity site for autoquake. He is a perfectionist who loves his work and carry that out with real professionalism. His work has won lots of praise from inside as well as outside autoquake.com

Martin is an exceptional developer and technical architect with an in-depth knowledge of front end development / web technologies amongst other skills. My client was looking for a perfectionist for their recent white labelling project which required redesigning their core code and Martin achieved fantastic results. Martin's strong technical ability coupled with excellent communication skills would make him a welcome addition to any team and I would have no hesitation in recommending him on both a technical and personal level.

Martin is a very dedicated and a highly focused person with a professional approach. He successfully improved Autoquake's website performance with a fresh architechture approach and in time.

Martin is a valuable asset to any company whether it be for a short or long term basis.

Martin is logical, fast and professional in the work he does. He examines problems from many angles, and can provide innovative technical solutions.

Martin was a great person to work with, possesing that not so common mix of both excellent interpersonal skills and deep technical expertise. He has an excellent knowledge of the intricacies of standards compliant client side development, XHTML and jQuery, and his markup is among the cleanest I've seen. I've already worked with Martin again since GU and definitely hope to again.

Rich MumfordHead of User Experience

Martin's a top chap. He has the ability to see through the tech fog with speed and gets to the crux of the problem with great efficiency. A confident sort who knows his stuff, speaks his truth with clarity and would be a welcome addition to any team.

He also developed tools that would make his source code easy to test both from a development but also from a QA perspective. In addition Martin always impressed me with his knowledge about modern web technologies, both front as well as back-end related. Martin is a pleasant colleague with a good sense of humor and a no nonsense approach when it comes down to his professionalism.

Neill BruceSenior Copywriter

In the long hot summer of 2006, I was contracted by Digitas as editor and lead writer on a complete corporate rebuild of the Scottish Widows website, Martins help, advice and technical guidance was invaluable.

Upwards of 250 webpages got written, designed, coded and uploaded by the deadline.

His attention to detail is of an incredibly high standard, and he worked endlessly towards high accuracy in delivering work to clients of the very highest quality. He's a great team player, and liked by colleagues and clients alike. I'd highly recommend Martin for any technology focused company.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him professionally or personally to a potential employer or business partner.

Bernardo Carvalho WertheimProject Co-ordinator

Whilst working with Martin at Digitas I was always impressed by his knowledge depth. There was never a moment where the guy didn't have an answer and when the job was tough there was simply no one else I could trust. Martin helped us launching the massive Shell.com website project, a £1.7M monster, CMS-driven, global solution that involved hundreds of stakeholders. Easy to manage and to be managed by, always a cool cat, Martin knows his stuff and would be a huge help to any digital team. Highly recommended.

Martin was an outstanding senior software engineer with skills that spanned a variety of front and back-end technologies. I managed Martin at Modem Media / Digitas where he was lead developer on a variety of high profile projects for the likes of GSK, Samsung, Scottish Widows, Lloyds TSB and Unilever. Martin was a real team player and was comfortable taking ownership of tech projects from scoping right through to delivery. The quality of Martins work was consistently high and he was never afraid to embrace a new technology or process. He was a confident communicator and was ever dependable in client situations. Martins strong technical skills allied with professionalism made him one of the real stars of the tech team and it was a real pleasure to work with him. I wholeheartedly recommend Martin and believe he'd be an invaluable asset to any organisation.
