Consulting Social Proofs

Testimonials from clients who engaged me to address delivery constraints, transform systems of work, implement tooling, or attend training courses. Also includes colleagues who worked alongside me on projects.

These statements describe what people observed or experienced. They are evidence of approach, knowledge, and working style, not endorsement.

How to Use This

Look for testimonials that describe constraints similar to yours. Notice what the client valued, what changed, and whether the outcome matched their intent.

Martin is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in helping teams become more agile and adopt DevOps practices especially around the Microsoft Azure platform and VSTS / TFS. But he is not limited to that stack with plenty of experience with competing and complimentary technologies. He explains things clearly and gets rid of any 'smoke and mirrors' to show how any team can make small improvements to improve how they work. He is one of the leading MVP's globally for DevOps and someone myself and my colleagues in the Azure product group trust to give us honest and insightful feedback.

Thanks to Martin's guidance and support we successfully upgraded to TFS 2010 from an unstable TFS 2005 database, moved our dev team to Visual Studio 2010 and implemented the finest product build process ever known! I would recommend Martin to anyone, in fact I would insist they use him as he's the best ALM consultant I've worked with.

Martin cuts to the chase with whatever you throw at him. Having worked with him extensively over the last 3 years, I can strongly recommend Martin whether your needs are broadly across the Software Application Lifecycle Development spectrum (including scrum training) or deeply into the most complex enterprise wide Team Foundation Server / Visual Studio Team Services migrations. This is a fast moving field in which Martin typically provides rapid responses and solutions, or facilitates them through his worldwide network. More than happy to talk with anyone needing further encouragement to engage in his services!

I worked with Martin for a couple of months and I have to say he was great to work with, and this for several reasons: - he has a great personality and he has a good sense of humour, which does help. - he has an excellent knowledge of TFS and of what good engineering pratices are/should be. I believe it is essential to have the right software development process, and Martin is the right person to ensure we do things the right way. - he has lots of passion for what he does, which is very motivational for others. On top of that, he had enough patience to explain to me inside out some bugs we encountered. I would highly recommend Martin for any position where he could spread his knowledge.
