I am Mark, a software developer and architect

I have over 18 years of experience in the IT industry, working for organisations ranging in size from multinational enterprises to a small start-up. I'm a senior developer with a wide range of experience and technical expertise in developing .Net framework based software and websites. I have worked on projects ranging in size and complexity, in a variety of different industries.

I have a passion for creating great software.

I'm in the zone when writing clean, efficient code, or working on innovative software architectures. I'm always looking for better ways for project teams to work together for successful results, through automation - better tools making everyone's job easier - and collaboration - working together to achieve project goals.

Developing Websites

With over 10 years of experience using tools like HTML5 and CSS3, Javascript libraries like jQuery and Angular.js, and Microsoft's ASP.Net MVC and WebAPI frameworks, I enjoy building stylish, yet functional, web applications for customers.

Software Architecture

I have software architecture experience at a variety of levels. My experience includes Enterprise Architecture work, as well as work developing software architecture elements, and reviewing architectures designed by others.

ALM and DevOps

Years of experience in enterprises has given me a strong understanding of the need for ALM and DevOps. Most recently I've made use of Microsoft TFS and OctopusDeploy to build a solid DevOps foundation for my current development team.

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.

-Martin Fowler

My Skills

As the IT industry is constantly changing, I'm always adding new skills to my repertoire. I'm always ready for fresh challenges with new techniques and technologies. Some of the skills I use regularly are listed below.

I have much more detail and a far more complete list of my skills in my resume, which you can view, download, or print here.

Coding skills and Frameworks

Coding is where I started my career, and coding is what I still love to do. I'm very much a hands on coder. Whether I'm a team lead or an architect, I can still be found locked in a battle with a tricky code problem.
