Lead Developer

Martin Pollock

Martin is the lead developer at VIA who’s being toying with the web for over 10 years and oversees all tech projects including mobile apps, websites, and software. His interest in the web began with a drag-and-drop builder he found in primary school. Since then he works to make websites look their best on every device (still hoping for Google Glass).

When not making websites, Martin is often playing games, video or tabletop, it doesn’t matter which. If he is not gaming then he can usually be found on the sofa binge watching the latest anime or watching comedy panel shows and stand-up. He does try to keep active with a variety of activities from cycling, airsoft and martial arts.
