Software engineer, musician, filmmaker, horror enthusiast, dog person.
Hi, I'm Mark.
By day, I'm a software engineer based in Clutch City, and I build applications for the web, mostly with Javascript.
Outside of work, I build games for the web, and collaborate with friends to make music, films, comics, and occasionally food. I also take an embarrassing number of photos of my dog, Gatsby, and can quote nearly all of Jurassic Park.
