Welcome to โ€œWho Is Numeric Citizenโ€ landing page. Welcome to my personal landing page, a place to learn more about me and my creative journey.

My real name is JF Martin, but I prefer to be called "Numeric Citizen" here on the Internet. Think of Numeric Citizen as my content creator name or my pen name (see why I'm using this name.)

๐ŸŒŸ

Am I a content creator? This expression is so often used by bloggers. I prefer to think of myself as a contributor. I avoid the term "content" because it suggests merely filling a space. "Contributor" better reflects my goal of sharing something meaningful and making a small dent in the digital world.

๐ŸŒŸ

I have been an IT (Information Technologies) professional since the early nineties (โ†’ Celebrating 30 Years in IT). I'm 57; I'm probably getting old, I know. As an IT pro, I think โ†’ I have ten more years left. Iโ€™m starting a new job for a big Canadian bank, which could be my last job. I have a few hobbies going from writing, exploring digital tools like digital photography, software and electronic music. Writing and digital photography takes up much of my spare time. I spend about twenty hours a week writing and publishing (which I fully documented here). Why, you might ask? Find out why โ†’ โ€œI read, I learn, I write, I share.โ€

๐ŸŒŸ

I've always been fascinated and passionate about digital tools like the computer, the smartphone and electronic music. Using software brings those devices to life and is what I enjoy the most. We live in exciting albeit challenging times. Iโ€™m an Apple fan since 1982 and owned a lot of Apple gear as documented here (warining, big rabbit hole). I used to be an indie iPhone apps developer between 2009 and 2013. I published my apps under the TinySofty Apps branding. I wasnโ€™t very successful but I maned to make about 5K$!

Please, do explore the other pages to learn more about me because someone said: โ€œWe can see who we are through what we createโ€. I do have a /nope page.

๐ŸŒŸ

Because I openly share my complete content contributor toolset here and many of my worklfows there, plus a blog about blogging over here, I consider myself as an open blogger. And my website analytics are open to all, look for them here.

Lastly, I took part of the People & Blog series by Manuel Moreale. Read the written interview here to learn more about me.

This is who I am. On the first image, youโ€™ll find this avatar on all my websites and profile pages. It is an animated GIF created from two images. A digital artist created this avatar from the original image. Sadly, I lost the reference to this artist. He did an wonderful job. On the second image, this is me, circa May, 2025, during a vacation in Italy. Thanks to my wife for trying my Nikon Z f camera!

Please note the following

This website is gradually replacing this one built using Craft. I decided to use a more flexible tool to create a website, as Craft failed to meet my flexibility requirements. This website is a work-in-progress; I expect to complete the project by the end of summer of 2025. Expect the site design to constantly evolve as Iโ€™m getting acquainted with Realmac Software Elements features and power.
