About

Hi I'm Mark, a Freelance Web Developer, Consultant and Automation Engineer. I build websites, APIs, workflows & automations.

I publish a blog, where I write posts and notes about programming and tech, and I publish currated links I find from around the web. I post most days. There's also a newsletter that had a good run, and an experimental podcast. Both of these are on hiatus. I keep these formats around because one day they might come in handy. These days it‘s really just the blog.

I've worked for feature film visual effects companies, an enterprise software startup, and I've built my own SaaS.

My latest project is a template rendering tool and a publishing server both of which grew out of my previous Nodejs static site generator project.
