Martin Breining is a freelance software engineer and former engineering manager with 13 years of experience building full‑stack web applications, backend services, data pipelines, and analytics infrastructure from the San Francisco Bay Area. He pairs hands‑on product development with architecture and infrastructure expertise—designing scalable systems, ETL/data warehousing, and offline application workflows. Martin has led teams at Adobe on Digital Marketing Cloud (Facebook Ads) and helped launch streaming and startup products as a senior engineer and founder, bringing both enterprise-grade rigor and startup agility. He emphasizes development processes—testing, CI/CD, automation, and code quality—and has practical hiring and recruiting experience. An early contributor to front‑end integrations like react-webpack-rails tutorials, he knows how to bridge Rails, React/Redux, and build toolchains for production. His background at IBM on DB2/InfoSphere and an MS in Computer Science give him deep systems and data integration foundations often missing in typical full‑stack consultants.
