Hi, I’m Mark
A Full-Stack Engineer.
Going on:
Here is my simplified work summary:
- A Navy Veteran in computer hardware is how I started.
- My career began with UI/UX Design and Frontend.
- Backend work? They figured I’d be good at that too.
- Desktop applications? Sure, why not add that to the mix.
- Eventually, they thought, “Let’s have him do everything, all at once.”
- Next step? Training others to juggle it all like I did.
- Now, I reside in a cozy computer dungeon.
- But no worries—good food, great internet, and all the code I can handle.
- Human interaction is handled through Slack or Zoom Meetings.
- Just one thing… sunlight is a bit of a distant memory.
- If someone could tell me what year it is, that would be nice too.
This is me, btw. 
I named the class for this “polaroid”.
It was then that I realized just how old I am.
What is this page?
Sorry if Google led you here somehow. I just wanted to make sure to get my personal domain before someone else grabbed it. I also didn’t want to leave this domain with an “under construction” message forever. Heh. But, I could tell you a little bit about me. I mean, you came all this way, so … uh …
A little bit about me
My career has been a journey of evolution and discovery. I began as a Navy Electronics Technician, where I honed my expertise in hardware and system repair. However, I soon realized that my true passion lay in creation, not just maintenance. This led me to pursue a degree in web technology, transitioning into the world of Frontend development, where I quickly made my mark in commercial web projects. Along the way, I had the privilege of being mentored by experienced engineers who recognized my potential and helped accelerate my growth.
Over the years, my work in e-commerce and SaaS has deepened my understanding of the critical need for innovative software solutions across various industries. My path has taken me from crafting Frontend interfaces to architecting Backend systems and developing Desktop applications. Each step has been a deliberate move toward mastering the full spectrum of software engineering.
The emergence of generative AI and tools like ChatGPT has brought a new dimension to my work, challenging me to expand my horizons and engage with the latest advancements in technology. I’m excited by the opportunities this presents and am eager to contribute my experience to this rapidly evolving field.
As for the rise of AI—let’s just say I’ve always embraced technology’s potential. Rest assured, I’m not just along for the ride; I’m here to help steer the ship.
