My expertise is problem solving, and I do that through software development. I love creating things that help people accomplish their goals. Software allows me to scratch that itch, crafting tools seemingly out of thin air. If you're looking for help on your projects, please let me know.

Although I'm good at what I do, the learning never ends. It's impossible to know everything. This field is so exciting and moves so quickly, the opportunity to learn new technologies, tools, and techniques is continuous. I learn from others on every project I work on. I love to share in this educational process, so I've ran user groups and code camps, as well as written articles here to provide learning opportunities to thousands of others. And I always learn from the comments left on my articles.

My other passion is writing and producing music. I've released 7 albums since 2021 (alt pop/rock and ambient) as Mark Z80.
