Bio
Christian Bering Damm
Having worked with Martin at ZeitGuyz Game Developers I can vouch for his strong technical insight and friendly nature - Always willing to help one out. My highest recommendations.
Timothy Evison
Martin has a fantastic ability to independently think through problems and find his own solution, this is unusual but what made Martin special was that he was then able to communicate the solution to others in a way that was easy to undestand at whichever level he chose. This makes him an invaluable asset to any company that wants to keep up to date in this fast moving industry.
