Andrew Pettey
Martin is an individual who is always open to change and embracing new challenges. He excels at solving difficult problems and consistently produces high-quality work. His work ethic is unparalleled, and he is always willing to put in the extra effort to ensure projects are completed on time and to a high standard. One of Martin's defining characteristics is his ability to take feedback constructively. He recognizes the value of feedback and uses it to improve his work and grow as an engineer. This quality, combined with his drive for self-improvement, makes him a truly exceptional employee. Martin was instrumental in delivering several key projects during his time at Wonder.Me, including the launch of SpeedBoat [Wonder Version 2] where he was core to the development of the world rendering engine for Wonder. Ultimately this custom Rendering Engine provided a fun and interactive world to Millions of users over the life of the product. Martin aligned the company on the implementation of monetization and drove the continued efforts to make the company a sustainable business. Finally Martin was a critical pillar for the stability of the WebRTC platform, Martin contributed by fundamentally changing the shape of our internal WebRTC concepts and delivered a far more stable product. These projects required a high level of technical expertise, focus on delivering results, ability to handle large amounts of ambiguity and high grit and Martin excelled in these areas. Wonder.me was shaped by engineers like Martin and it was a pleasure working with him, I know that he will bring a great perspective to any organization that he joins.

I had the pleasure to work with Martin for over 2 years. He is the type of engineer that every manager would love to have: highly productive, proactive, quick to deliver his tasks, helping others and pointing out risks and blind spots. Martin has contributed to frontend, backend and devops efforts as well as investigations and resolving incidents, led projects and mentored others. With his skills and attitude, Martin pushed the product and the team forward. Hope to work with him again!
