Quotes
I employed Martin as web designer at UNDP Hanoi, on a contract basis. He completely re-designed the website and built the intranet site. He also worked for me at the Mekong River Commission (MRC) in Phnom Penh, where he designed and built the website. He worked closely with national and international counterparts within the two organisations and was liked greatly by the staff.
