Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Allison is a Senior Python developer based in London with 13 years of experience building web applications and Django-based services across startups and product teams. He has held senior engineering roles at Kraken Technologies and Artfinder and previously helped launch many websites at Potato, pairing practical backend skills with a grounding in electronic and electrical engineering (MEng, University of Strathclyde). Comfortable picking up C-like languages after some practice, he brings a pragmatic, hands-on approach to solving problems and shipping reliable code. Outside work he’s drawn to volunteer and cross-cultural projects, and is equally likely to offer coding help for a good cause as he is to help move heavy furniture or exchange ideas about languages and linguistics.
