Martyn previously worked for CMJ working as part of a very small team writing for systems with an annual turnover in excess of £14 million. Coding for TAMS (www.sjjb.co.uk) developing the online hotel booking systems used by over 10 hotel booking agencies (including www.incorporatevenues.com), this was a highly specialised back end for hotel booking agents and public site for their clients to book hotels using special rates, based on PHP, external APIs and a 100+ table database.

Martyn was also the lead coder for the London Marathon Exhibtion (www.lmexpo.com) extending TAMS to include an graphical exhibition stand booking system (including web based stand drawing tools (SVG and javascript) and highly configurable pricing structures). His personal fave is the vest printing system which allows the drag and drop placing of a runners personal message to be printed on to their vest or tshirt (in a web browser or a touch screen interface at the exhibtion, HTML & javascript). Those designs are paid for then cut out using job management systems and cutter drivers he wrote (SVG & PHP).

In the mists of time Martyn has also worked with 10+ charities, helped setup what is now zestcommunity.co.uk which involved dishing out hundreds of pounds of funding (fun) and once helped 500 people learn to juggle. He has also built programmes for JobNet, JobCentrePlus and the Sheffield Wildlife Trusts. And at the dawn of history (well 1995) was the first editor of the worlds first student run internet newspaper (Sheffield Electronic Press : ShEP).
