Hey, You
Glad to hear you want to know more about me!
Hi! I'm Mark, a Front-End Developer with a passion for design. My journey began with studying Multimedia Design which in turn sparked my interest in development. I started as a junior developer during an internship, eager to learn more about the coding side of things. Fast forward to today, and I’ve grown into a Front-end Developer with over six years of experience, continuously exploring new tools and technologies to enhance my skills.
I’m driven by a passion for UX/UI and creating seamless digital experiences. I believe that technology should be accessible to everyone, and I strive to create user-friendly interfaces that cater to a diverse audience and end up adding value to the user. I take pride in writing clean, maintainable code, believing that good code is just as important as good design. In my free time you can find me busy with cars, photography, gaming, working on personal coding projects or learning some new skill.

Front-end Developer
During my time at Leads.io, I have grown significantly as a Front-end Developer. I have worked on various internal projects that helped the company transition from manual processes to automated systems. This has given me extensive experience with Vue and allowed me to work with different technologies across diverse projects. Additionally, I was introduced to the Agile (Scrum) methodology here.

Front-end Developer
At Emogy, I worked as a Front-end Developer, but I also took on the design of various websites for clients, which I then developed myself. This was my first introduction to Joomla, a new CMS for me, which was used to build custom websites for B2B clients, allowing them to manage their own content. During this period, I significantly enhanced my development skills, gained hands-on experience, and quickly became familiar with the fundamentals.

Junior Developer
At Made Marketing, I started as an intern and took my first steps into the world of web development. What began with creating simple drag-and-drop websites during my internship quickly evolved into my first full-time role, where I worked on larger, more complex websites with custom-built themes, all within the WordPress CMS. Over time, I gained valuable hands-on experience in building tailored web solutions. Additionally, I contributed to the rebranding of Made Marketing itself.

Values
I view the world through a lens where everything is possible, some things might take more effort than others. But with the right mindset, time, tools and a good dose of creativity anything can be achieved.
I believe that working together with a team people can achieve more than alone. I believe that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses and that by working together we can complement each other and achieve great things.
I value respect highly. I believe that everyone should be treated with respect and that everyone deserves as much respect as they give. I believe that by treating others with respect we can create a better world for everyone.
Life is too short to be serious all the time. I believe that humor can help us get through the tough times and can help us connect with others. I believe that humor can help us see the brighter side of life and can help us enjoy life more.
