Web developer and software engineer specializing in JavaScript and React.
👋 Hi, I'm Mark!
I'm an energetic and constantly-learning web developer and product creator.
I started hacking on Angelfire and Geocities sites back in the day, took a break in college to study psychology, and then wandered back into the world of tech.
I work full time as a frontend engineer, study an hour a day, and build indie products in the nights and weekends.
When I'm not in front of a screen, I'm with my family or exploring the Idaho backcountry on a mountain bike or pair of skis.
Need help with a project? I'd love to hear about it!
