Martin is a Programmer, Author & Designer based in the Netherlands

I'm a creative programmer, author & designer of things, with experience dating back to the 80s and the days of the ZX Spectrum and Sam Coupé.


My career has been unconventional. Programming through my childhood & 20s, I then took a 7 year detour into biology gaining a PhD in Immunology & Bioinformatics. Later rediscovering my passion for programming I left academia, working first in commercial software development before taking the leap into independent consulting & writing in 2019.


I have written and published several successful Python programming books and provide GUI programming training & consultancy via my Python GUIs website.


I also enjoy tinkering with electronics and retro computers. You can find much of what I've done — dating all the way back to the 90s — on my blog.


I see programming as a fundamentally creative endeavor & through my books and courses hope to be able to share that same enthusiasm and fun of discovery with you.


Originally from the UK I now live in Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
