About Me
Hi, my name is Marcus and I am a self-employed software engineer living and working remotely in the United States. I grew up in a small farm town known as Meadows of Dan and graduated from Virginia Tech with a dual degree in entrepreneurial management and marketing. I'm a self-taught developer and have been coding for over seven years.
I specialize in building enterprise web and app platforms using JavaScript (TypeScript nowadays!), Node, GraphQL, and React. I've been lucky to work with a lot of brilliant engineers along that way at some of the largest companies in the world like Deloitte and PwC. I've also worked for venture backed startups like Sirona Medical, and have delivered various indie hacker products (maybe you've heard of Guess the Throne or CampsiteTonight).
My current passions are in the creator economy, financial markets, and decentralized finance. I am currently working full-time on a product in the creator economy space. More details soon!
When I'm not coding, I'm in nature. For the last six months, I've been full-timing in an Airstream seeing the best parts of America!
