About the Author
Dr Paul Martin - I'm an Australian Anaesthesologist living & working in Brisbane, Queensland.
I've always been a computer geek since I was a child the 80s and while I had never written a line of code my entire life, I was always interested in giving it a go. Coding was like magic to me - but I never really had a need to learn until my registrars starting complaining about how terrible the available digital logbooks were. In 2016 - at the age of 42 - I decided to learn to code.
While my first few apps were pretty terrible, the process helped me learn enough to create Somnus. I was lucky enough to attend the Apple WWDC in 2018 in California and to walk among coding giants, learning so much in the process. Looking back the first few versions of Somnus were quite ordinary!
There is always something to improve and while there are many things I simply can't do (yet), I'm always keen to implement features you suggest if they're reasonable - and most of your suggestions really are!
Somnus is entirely one person (me) - from the coding & graphic design to this website - and I also work as a full-time Anaesthesiologist. This is a hobby, not a reliable source of income, so while I welcome criticism, please be gentle.
If you like Somnus, please leave a review in the App Store and refer some friends.
If you don't like Somnus, please let me know. This is the only way I can improve it for you - and everyone else. I use Somnus for every single one of my cases, so I have a vested interest in improving it for many years to come.
