Hey - I'm

MartinPolley

I make things for the web.

I'm a fullstack developer from Copenhagen, Denmark. This is my portfolio! In a nutshell, I like making things for the web and exploring new technologies.

About me

Hey! My name is Martin. I'm officially a computer science student at the University of Copenhagen but outside of studying I spend time nerding over web technologies and building things using them. I love the process of creating something from scratch and seeing it come to life.


Do you want a little insight into my thoughts on building web applications? As cliché as it sounds, I like simple things. I like things to be clean, isolated, small, and minimalistic. I always keep simplicity in mind whether I'm building the UI or deciding the folder structure for the backend.


Here's a picture of me if you were wondering what I look like (;
