Martin Bridgman Full stack web developer and illustrator

Biography

Until 2019 I worked as a database manager and spatial analyst at the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government. In my spare time I have been learning web development linked particularly to back-end databases such as MySQL for the last six months. It is my intention for this to add an additional dimension to my specialist GIS and database skills, making them more accessible and marketable. I am planning on taking this forward by establishing my own business under the names of Bolshie Pig.
