Hi, I’m Mark 👋

I’m a staff software engineer working at Federato. I love all things frontend whether that’s building stunning UI components, improving accessibility and user experience, or fine-tuning the frontend build system. Developer experience is another huge passion of mine as I like to empower myself and other engineers to build excellent solutions with less friction. TypeScript, React, CSS, and Go are where you’ll find me the happiest, and a little Rust sprinkled here and there doesn’t hurt.

Outside of work, I’m a small-town kid from Wisconsin who loves small-town life almost as much as I like snow and winter. In my free time, I like working on my house, spending time with family and friends, and playing disc golf. I am also a Christian seeking to be more like Jesus in word, thought, and deed.

While I am a software engineer and a total nerd, I’m a huge extrovert and love spending time with people. If you ever want to debate the usefulness of college education for professions like computer science, I will gladly oblige as I am a self-taught developer who found very little practical value in college behind getting that slip of paper they call a diploma.
