“Martin is not only one of the most talented engineer I was lucky enough to work with, Martin understands product and pro-actively suggests ideas for growth and engagement.”

I am a computer science PhD turned into web/mobile developer by the love of code. What I love about programming is solving people problems while creating things out of thin air.

I have an extensive experience bringing software products from concepts to production, as well on the backend or as an iOS or Android developer. I also know my way around Javascript frontend quite well.

I am currently the CTO of Bluesquare.

I am active on lots of web communities, most importantly:

If you are looking for information about the research that I did during my PhD, your best bet is probably Google Scholar but you can also find some information on my old university homepage

Projects

I have done lots of different development projects since I started working in private companies in 2008. Here are some of them:

  1. Iaso my current focus: a platform used in emerging countries to
    1. manage master list of facilities (these are actually trees, but everybody calls them lists.)
    2. collect data connected to these facilities offline through an Android mobile application
    3. analyse (and export) the collected data in a dedicated data science environment
  2. Trypelim: a platform made of an Android app and a Django/Python/React web dashboard, used in DR Congo to track and manage the progress in the elimination of Sleeping Sickness
  3. Lexicolor a fast paced word game for two players on the same iOS device.
  4. Instaply for iOS: the iOS client of Instaply, an app for customer service through text messaging. I also have been responsible their SDK, data warehouse, and open API at some point.
