Howdy, I’m Martin and I have been blind since birth. I’m a father, a husband, and a technologist. I attended mainstream education from 18 months old through to further education. Originally, I left school with 12 GCSEs and was on my way building my career in youth work and sports development. However, it was around the time of choosing a college course I decided to change things up and go into computing. Since then, I’ve completed several Microsoft Certifications including Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist and Server Administrator certs and I am a Certified SCRUM master and SCRUM Product Owner. I have an extensive skillset in digital areas, including project management, service design, user research, service delivery, accessibility, and digital inclusion. I’m a father to two brilliant children, one of which has inherited some of my eye conditions and this encourages me to advocate for inclusion in education. I have a German Shepherd Guide Dog called Diesel who is 9, and we’ve been a partnership since August 2017. I’m a solution seeker. I love technology want it to continue to empower people with sight loss. I strive to be a part of it and help ensure technology and digital services are accessible. Through my content, I hope to provide insights into living with visual impairments and share snippets of my life that may help you to navigate sight loss.
