    <p>Hi there! My name is Martin, and I'm a software developer and tester based in London.</p>
    <p>I've been working in software development for over <%= ((Date.today - Date.parse("2006-09-04")) / 365).to_i %> years now. My experience is primarily in the Microsoft technology stack with C# .NET, working on ASP.NET Core-based technologies deployed in AWS and Azure.</p>
    <p>Besides technology, I'm a big fan of the cinema and like watching new films of many genres. I've been working on a self-imposed challenge of watching <a href="https://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/top+250/?user=martin_costello" alt="IMDb Top 250 Progress" rel="noopener" title="IMDb Top 250 Progress">all of the films in the IMDb Top 250</a> for the last <%= ((Date.today - Date.parse("2009-08-09")) / 365).to_i %> years. The list is always moving which makes it tricky, but one day I'll get there!</p>
