I bridge product vision and technical reality.
Senior Product Owner and iOS developer with 25+ years of experience. I think in products and speak the language of developers.
Freelance Services
Product thinking, with a developer’s instinct.
Martin works as a freelance Senior Product Owner and IT consultant. His edge: he can code. That means he asks the right questions, understands technical trade-offs, and doesn’t need things explained twice.
-
Product Ownership
Backlog management, user stories, sprint planning, release management and stakeholder alignment. Comfortable in Scrum or Kanban, across mobile and web products.
-
Technical Consulting
App strategy, architecture decisions, team setup and developer coordination. Strong on iOS-first and Flutter cross-platform products where technical trade-offs shape the roadmap.
-
Interim Mobile Product Lead
End-to-end responsibility for a mobile product — roadmap, backlog and App Store release. The owner role when a team is between hires or scaling fast.
