He is a good problem solver, being able to pick up projects and fix issues when the need arose, even when he had no previous involvement. He was very helpful whenever I needed help whilst working alongside him and was effective at dealing with all stakeholders. He would be a great addition to any team.

Martin is a hard working NodeJS and mobile developer; he has experience leading developers in a team and communicating with stakeholders. He has worked with business analysts, product managers, developers, ux and ui designers to build bespoke solutions for his clients. He also onboarded me when I had started and walked me through the project that I was working on. For this reason, I would recommend Martin to anyone looking for mobile or web developers.
