Martin started in IT in the early 90s in his mid-teen by architecting and deploying an Internet Service Provider using Linux which he learned on his own along with learning IP networking straight from Internet Request For Comments (RFC). From there, he continuously taught himself the various emerging technologies devouring each new wave that came along while working in the various sides of corporate IT (Customer, Reseller, Manufacturer).

Cloud was the latest iteration of that self-learning process where information and new concepts were created to be consumed in that manner yet at an even faster pace. In addition to speaking fluent English and French, he also taught himself Spanish to broaden his world perspective.
