Hi there 👋

I'm Mark.

I've been building software for over 25 years.

These days, I'm focused on building tools, teaching developers, and sharing what I'm learning as software development changes in the age of AI.

I care about clean architecture, simplifying complex problems, and helping developers understand not just the how, but the why behind the work.

What I'm working on

  • Building Marko, a modular PHP framework shaped by my years of experience with Magento, Laravel, and real-world application architecture
  • Maintaining docker-magento, the most popular Magento development environment that I've been refining for more than a decade
  • Creating new lessons and courses through M.academy, teaching as I learn
  • Exploring how AI is changing the role of the developer through real-world use, not theory, with The Merge Conflict

What you'll find here

A mix of open source projects, developer tools, experiments, and ideas pulled from the work I'm doing every day.

Some of it is practical. Some of it is architectural. Some of it is just me thinking out loud about where this industry is headed.

A few things I believe

  • Great software comes from a place of clarity, simplicity and elegance -- not complexity
  • Good teaching helps people understand, not just copy and paste
  • AI changes the mechanics of building, but judgment still matters more than ever
  • Sharing work before it's quite ready is often more useful than waiting until it looks perfect

Elsewhere

Fun facts

  • I'm married to my wonderful wife Juliann and we have twin girls 👯‍♂️
  • I have a red Nissan 240sx convertible that I love to modify 🏎
  • Once, I got lucky and bowled a 300 game 🎳
  • In my spare time, I like puzzles, tennis, mind games, and programming some more 👨‍💻
  • If you like my OSS work, you can buy me a burrito 🌯
