👋🏾, I'm Mark!

On any given day, once the caffeine kicks in, my mind is buzzing with questions:

• ✔️ Is this new technology truly groundbreaking or just a passing trend?
• ✔️ How do idioms from various programming languages influence my approach?
• ✔️ How big is my bug queue, and did we groom our backlog?
• ✔️ Are my estimates accurate, and will my solution scale?

With 18 years of experience in the industry—16 of those focused on front-end development—I bring a deep understanding of the presentation layer of your web experience. However, before writing a single line of code, I prioritize understanding your core business objectives to ensure my work aligns with your goals.

I've had the privilege of working with renowned organizations such as Sony Electronics, The Active Network, Bridgepoint Education, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. My contributions have even been spotlighted on JavaScript Weekly and Today with Hoda & Jenna.

• 💻 SleepScore Labs: Developed web applications to help users understand and improve their sleep.
• 💻 MTM: Collaborated with cross-functional teams to create web apps that connect patients and healthcare providers with innovative, cost-effective solutions.
• 💻 Kinectify: As Principal Front-End Engineer, I led front-end development across multiple teams, supporting AML software for the Gaming & Sports Betting industries.

As a self-described multi-hyphenate, I’m also a Podcast Producer, having written and produced over 100+ shows featured on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Castbox, and more. If you’re looking to pair your web project with a complementary medium, consider these attributes and inquire with me directly on how this value-add could work for your organization.

I originally made this podcast in hopes of reaching out to others within the web development field—to let you know that I'm in the trenches with you when it comes to code. I get excited host how our profession moves forward rapidly but at the same time I'd be lying if I said I've never been confused about it as well. I felt compelled to process my thoughts through audio.

That said, over time, the podcast has evolved into a channel where professionals inside of San Diego can also share their experiences, thoughts and ideas with the world. I've been fortunate to have guests on the show who have showcased their businesses and insights with me and I'm grateful that all of this can be brought back to you.

I hope you enjoy these segments and please feel free to provide feedback.
