Experience design agency Hush has added Justin Martin as technology director. A versatile technologist who’s honed his craft in a variety of fields from programming and research to engineering and visual effects, Martin joins Hush after spending the last two years at The Barbarian Group, where he last served as senior developer and worked with clients such as Google, Samsung, IBM and Intel.
Along with his Barbarian Group background, Martin has displayed his technical talents in research and engineering efforts while at Look Effects for high-profile feature films such as Darren Aronofsky’s Noah and Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom as well as his personal favorite project, decoding a satellite’s telemetry data using only ‘70s-era mission manuals when it passed by Earth in 2014. “The satellite project required recording a stream of bits from remote radio dishes and writing a decoder that would interpret it into engineering and scientific data,” he explained. “This was possibly the most research-heavy project I’ve done, but it was incredibly rewarding. Also, I learned great words like ‘subcommutation’ and ‘ephemeris’.”
