About Me

LinkedIn Profile | Curriculum Vitae
Since graduating with 1st Class BScEng (Hons) in Computer Aided Product Design ten years ago, I have worked extensively with the Flash platform, spending my earlier years as a freelance Flash designer and progressing to senior Flash/Flex development roles. I am a conscientious developer, producing well structured, efficient and clean code making full use of object orientated techniques, design patterns and constantly looking to broaden my programming scope to other languages.

I am an active follower of the Flash community, attending ‘Flash On The Beach’ conferences in Brighton, the ‘Adobe onAIR’ tour and the London Flash User Group meetings as well through the normal channels of social media & blogs.

I now work as a Flash, Flex & AIR contractor in and around London.

Testimonials

Nick Wood, Flash Designer/Developer – World Archipelago
Martin was one of my senior developers at WAI and was always on hand to direct and teach me in best practices and latest technologies. He has been of great asset in moulding me into the developer that I am for which I’m greatly thankful. Never one to shy away from problems he is always able to help and direct on any task that arises. He has a true knowledge and understanding of Flash, Flex and AS3 technologies and how they work with other languages.

Andy Law, Flash Development Manager – TAG
Martin is a very strong Flash/Flex developer with a solid knowledge of Pure MVC, and has a superb attitude, which shows in the high quality work he produces. He helped us immeasurably during his time working on the Smoke and Mirrors website – developing functionality, debugging the application and offering suggestions in ways that we might go about improving the build. We would happily have him back here any time for future development projects.

Nick Kuh, Lead Flex Developer – World Archipelago
Martin is a very talented Flex Developer. A joy to work with. A professional, likable colleague who contributes great ideas and can deliver results.

Phil Doherty, Digital Solutions Manager – World Archipelago
Martin is an excellent Flash developer with a strong eye for design and a good understanding of broader project considerations and technologies. I worked with Martin on a series of Flash/Flex projects and was always impressed with his pro-active approach and the consistent delivery of results.

Ed Davison, Technical Director – Digital Potion
Martin is a technically focussed front-end web developer with very comprehensive flash and flex skills. Working with Martin has always been like a breath of fresh air. He understands web development as a whole and does not compartment himself into front-end niches. He clearly understands the big picture of a project and always strives outside of his role to help the project run smoothly and effectively no matter what the technical challenges or size of the project. He works hard, is creative and has a tremendous work attitude. I thoroughly recommend Martin and jump at the chance of working him in future.

Daniel Henderson, Digital Development Manager – World Archipelago
Martin is a highly skilled Flash/Flex development. I have worked with him across a variety of website builds and always found him easy to work with, proactive and likeable developer and would enjoy working with him again.

Nick Clement, Designer/Developer – Sony PlayStation
Martin skillset is somewhat of a rarity in that he can design and code to a very high level and always throws in that little bit extra into each job. We worked together on quite a few projects and had a good laugh to boot. Highly recommended.

Igor Dutra, Information Architect – Likemind
I had the pleasure to working with Martin in a rather tricky flash/flex map application. He is extremely knowledgeable and always happy to find solutions to complicated problems on time and on budget. Highly recommended for anybody that needs a flash/flex expert.
