Martin Joo

Senior Software Engineer

Hi, I'm Martin!

I've been a software engineer since 2012, building systems that scale from hundreds to millions of users. Currently working on my own ventures.

Throughout my career, I've led teams through complex technical challengesβ€”from migrating legacy systems to Kubernetes, to building real-time streaming platforms and recommendation engines.

My passion for teaching developers led me to publish 5 highly-rated books on PHP and Laravel, write regularly on my blog at martinjoo.dev, and create developer tools like a serverless code review system and ReelCode (a practical alternative to LeetCode).

I've spent thousands of hours not just building systems, but understanding why they workβ€”from implementing a database storage engine in Go to optimizing applications that handle millions of requests.

This book distills over a decade of real-world system design experience into practical knowledge you can apply immediately.
