Welcome

Hi, my name is “Ed Madd” Martin.

I’m passionate about web development.

Are you? Then check out my site and projects!

If you like what you see here, have ideas, interesting or funny insights related to web development then let me know.

I am already very curious.

Skills

These are the languages, frameworks, libraries, etc. I’m working most…and it’s getting more day by day (click the button to see more…).

Django

I use Django as backend for several of my projects together with the django-rest-framework and django-rest-auth. I learned and deepened my knowledge with the HarvardX program "CS50 Computer Science for Web Programming" and my Django projects.


directus

Recently I was made aware of the CMS directus. I used the CMS in the context of my last project EdMadd-Kanban and have hereby made the start.


Shopware

Shopware as Backend for e-com projects. I have deepened my knowledge especially during my studies as a media computer scientist at the ILS.


WordPress

WordPress as Backend for some of my projects. I have deepened my knowledge especially during my studies as a media computer scientist at the ILS.


MySQL

I use MySQL as database for my WordPress projects and initially started with it with my first website. My knowledge grew especially with the Codecademy course "Web Development Career Path" and the HarvardX program "CS50 Computer Science for Web Programming".


Penpot

I use Penpot for frontend developer tasks, which I have been doing for Systainchange since 2023.


Figma

I use Figma to create the design prototypes of my websites e.g. website for Ogura Dojo. I have been using the software since I started to deepen my knowledge in web development (2019).


Scrum

From my professional career I'm very used to work with different development models / proceedings. For one of my companies projects we used Scrum for a quite innovative and new project.


Git/Github

I use Github to configure each of my projects. I started with Github with the Codecademy course "Web Development Career Path" and use it VSCode plugin for every project.


CSS

I've been CSS since I created my first website over 10 years ago. I have deepened my knowledge continuously with each of my projects and also with the course of Codecademy "Web Development Career Path".


HTML

I've been HTML since I created my first website over 10 years ago. I have deepened my knowledge continuously with each of my projects and also with the course of Codecademy "Web Development Career Path".


React

I use React for frontend creation where possible everywhere. E.g. in combination with Django and Wordpress as backend. I started React with the Codecademy "Web Development Career Path" course and with Mosh Hamedani's course "Mastering React". In the process, I further deepened my knowledge through various Django and Wordpress projects.


PHP

I use PHP in the context of my Wordpress projects. I have deepened my knowledge especially with the training as a media computer scientist at the ILS Fernschule and my Wordpress / Shopware projects.


Python

I've been using Python since I started programming test automation for HiL's in my early career. Concerning web development I deepened my knowledge especially with the course "CS50 Computer Science for Web Programming", the education as media computer scientist at the ILS Fernschule and my Django projects.


Javascript

I've been using Javascript since I created my first website over 10 years ago. I have deepened my knowledge now especially with the course of Codecademy "Web Development Career Path" and my current projects.

Learning Path

After High School…

I started studying electrical and computer engineering at the TU Munich…

As a freshly started test engineer, I program test automations for HiL test benches with Python…

As my career progressed, I quickly moved away from programming and took on more and more management tasks…
After several years, I returned to software programming privately and learned HTML, CSS, JADE and SASS on my own to program the website for our sports club…

Curious to learn more about React.js, I took the course “Mastering React” by Mosh Hamedani…

For a more academic learning path, I then successfully completed the CS50 “Computer Science for Web Programming” programme at HarvardX (edx.org)…

Last I graduated as computer scientist for media at the ILS distance learning school and I also deepend my knowledge of WordPress.
