Marty Himmelstein has been a key resource for all technical projects at XeniumGroup. He has an unfailing ability to take a product or feature idea and expand it to encompass related aspects, abstract it so that it becomes applicable to a wider audience, reduce it to a core architectural pattern, and implement it in clean, maintainable software code.
