Summary
Martin Takken is a seasoned web developer and designer with 15+ years building PHP-driven applications, WordPress themes and plugins, and bespoke Laravel systems from Amsterdam. He prefers long-term partnerships and has delivered for cultural and energy organizations, notably architecting oZon—a complex project administration and billing platform for some 100 community solar projects integrating APIs, accounting links and MySQL-backed logic. Combining formal training in design and new media with hands-on coding, he blends UX-aware visual design (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) with robust backend engineering (Composer, Bootstrap, APIs). Energetic and detail-oriented, he often works standing and treats daily development as craft—building tools that real users rely on.
