+# Author's notes
+
+## Hi, I'm Martin ([@squidfunk][1])
+
+I'm a freelance polyglot software engineer and founder from Cologne, Germany
+with more than 10 years of experience in full-stack web development and system
+programming. If you're interested in my projects, please see my [CV][2].
+
+Besides my freelance work I'm currently working on Ginseng, my new company that
+specializes in layout error detection developing the [Ginseng framework][3] and
+a complementary service as a replacement for screenshot testing.

+## Why another theme?
+
+Some time ago I wanted to release a project to the open, but it was in need of
+user documentation. I checked out the available tools and sticked with MkDocs,
+because it was so simple and easy to use. However, none of the available
+themes convinced me.
+
+I wanted to build something that was usable on all screen sizes from the ground
+up, something beautiful and practical at the same time. Google's Material Design
+appeared to be the perfect fit and this something became Material, a Material
+Design theme for MkDocs.
