I have worked with programming since 1999 as a hobby until I began my education to become a programmer. I worked for digital agencies for 5 years, before I decided to start my own company. For the past 8 years, I have worked on both small and large projects for various clients around Denmark and abroad. I am a firm believer in the SOLID principles for software development, as well as the Security and Privacy by Design principles. Good software starts with good principles.

"It is a pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Martin Ricken, who was assisting FFW Denmark as a Senior Developer and System Architect for the KKDK profile solution for Copenhagen Municipality (the profile used primarily for kk.dk). With Martin, you will not just get the easiest versions of the solutions that the client has defined, but he will go the extra mile to make the best possible solution, in cooperation with you and the client. He is pro-active, intelligent and an amazing developer. For the KKDK profile solution, Martin was used for the more complex tasks: Assisting with the architecture and technical task descriptions, developing complex third party integrations and managing the coupling between the Multisite solution and the profile work from FFW. I am proud to have been working with him and wish him all the best in the future. Hopefully we will have the option of working together again. High praises and recommendations from my end and from FFW."
"I’ve had the pleasure to work with Martin on the TDC/youSee TV Platform. Martin has a lot of knowledge and knowhow for the domain he worked in, which he used to build solid and scalable micro services for us. Martin is very thorough with his work and does not accept half-baked solutions. I can recommend Martin and would work with him again, if given the opportunity."
"I had the pleasure to work closely with Martin Ricken on our Drupal conversion from Sitecore to Drupal. He worked as an architect and as a senior developer on our baseline. Martin puts great pride in deliver good results, and he’s a great architect, that listens to the business needs. I can only give Martin Ricken my highest recommendation."
"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Martin at Aller Media. We were both were hired as consultants to help Aller Media build a base line for for all of their future Drupal sites. Martin is a very dedicate person who goes above and beyond, to ensure the success of the project he is working on. He is always true to himself and will not compromise the quality of a delivery to make a deadline, but will always find a way to not only deliver, but do it in a way he can approve of. Martin is one of the most skilled Drupal developers I’ve worked with for a long time. He has a rare insight into Drupal’s inner workings and is able to use this knowledge when designing the architecture for a site. I would be happy to work along site Martin on any future project, and would hire him on the spot if I could."
