Welcome to my profile! I’m Martin, a Software Engineer with a strong background in Database Administration. I specialize in turning complex data requirements into smooth, reliable, and well-structured software systems.
Over the course of my career—from my beginnings at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) to my current work with Quantitative Aquatics—I've focused heavily on database optimization and backend systems.
What I bring to the table:
PostgreSQL & Database Engineering: Hands-on experience migrating legacy systems and managing massive environmental/marine databases (FishBase, SeaLifeBase, and Sea Around Us).
Data Allocation & Extraction: Skilled at performing complex data runs, extracting specific data models (like CMSY catch data), and building custom datasets for organizational requests.
Web Development: Active maintainer and developer for global web platforms.
I am passionate about solving tough data problems and building scalable backends. Outside of work, I'm an avid cyclist who loves hitting the road and exploring the beauty of the Philippines.
