Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Urban is a Head of Engineering and hands-on tech leader with 12 years of experience building high-performance, serverless enterprise applications and leading TypeScript-focused teams. At Purple Technology he transitioned from CTO for Web Technologies to Head of Engineering, shaping a serverless platform that handles complex data processing and stringent performance requirements. He combines deep AWS Lambda/Step Functions/DynamoDB expertise with modern front-end skills (React, Svelte, GraphQL) and a strong TDD mindset to deliver production-grade systems. A founder of both a mobile gaming startup and a popular escape-room brand, he brings entrepreneurial creativity and product intuition to engineering management. Known for insisting on near-perfect delivery while supporting teammates personally, he also embraces remote work freedom—sometimes taking calls with his two young boys and a sea view in the background.
