Even while studying as an electrical and electronic engineer between 1998-2002 at the University of Cambridge, Geoff maintained an active interest in web development through maintaining university society websites. His final year Masters project focused on the use of web technology as a training tool for teaching users of complex scientific instrumentation.
After a short hiatus working in the London Underground graduate training scheme, Geoff returned to Cambridge in 2004 to take a PhD in e-learning technology. This continued the work he started in his Masters degree, and encompassed a range of different web-based technologies including HTML, CSS Flash, PHP, JavaScript and Java. During this time he worked on a number of web-based projects including the Virtual Scanning Electron Microscope, the Rolecks ARM chip emulator, and a questionnaire tool for doctorate researchers.
Graduating in 2007, Dr Martin went to work for what is now Tribal's Digital Learning Studio in Cambridge, where he was a lead developer on a number of web development projects. These included some with educational aims, and others which were more general websites. Most of Geoff's work with Tribal was either on EU-funded projects, or work with other not-for-profit and academic organisations.
After leaving Tribal in early 2011, Geoff is now self-employed and offers a range of consultant web development and other IT services. He particularly enjoys working with not-for-profit, charitable and academic organisations to build up their web presence and IT infrastructure. This said, Geoff is also very happy to work with commercial clients - please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
