Martin Funk is a seasoned Java-focused freelancer with over 15 years of experience designing portals, integrations, and content systems using Java/J2EE, Wicket, EJBs, Servlets, JDBC and Hibernate. A Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP 1.4 & 1.5) with a Diplom in Mathematics from RWTH Aachen, he blends strong formal problem-solving skills with pragmatic software delivery. His career spans large-scale portal relaunches at 1&1 and hands-on roles across Deutsche Bahn, T-Systems and content management firms, often owning both analysis and implementation. As an independent consultant since the early 2000s he thrives on end-to-end responsibility—“selbst und ständig”—for projects of varying scale. He also contributes to well-known open-source ecosystems like Homebrew, maintaining Apache TomEE formulae so users can install up-to-date Java application server distributions easily. Comfortable in backend systems and integration work, he brings deep Java expertise paired with a mathematician’s rigor and a practical, delivery-oriented mindset.

Contributions summary:Martin focused on updating and maintaining Apache TomEE-related formula files within the Homebrew repository. Their primary contributions involved updating the version numbers and download URLs for different TomEE distributions (jax-rs, plus, and webprofile), which required knowledge of the TomEE project and Homebrew's formula structure.
