Welcome.

Hi, I’m Mark. I’m a developer and writer currently living just outside Philadelphia, PA. I’ve been building things for the web for over 22 years, and I particularly love the intersection of content strategy, design, and implementation. This site houses my blog posts and also my reading log.

At work I’m the Head of Technology for Bluecadet, where we build experiences in online and physical spaces.

Thanks for being here.
