Hi there!
I'm Mark. Web Developer, Runner, Pixel Artist.
ABOUT ME
Sheffield-born Web Developer, I have spent my life making and building digital content. With a history studying both Mobile App Development and Animation, you're likely to get some obscure and eclectic answers if you ask me a question. Forever waving the banner for both mobile responsiveness and accessibility.
Web Development
I have been working in the retirement and employee benefits industry since 2016, growing from a junior to a lead developer over my tenure. Primarily developing in Angular, but having also worked in Ruby on Rails, Vue & React, I have spent my career building everything from retirement & benefit communication websites to modelling tools, emails, and online benefit statements.
Here's just some of the people I've had the privilege of working with!
Running
When I'm not creating something, you'll find me running around the streets of Sheffield. I have been an avid runner since starting a couch to 5k in February 2016. Since then I have completed hundreds of distance runs, become an avid Pakrunner, and started an annual tradition of running the Great North Run.
I strongly believe in making running an accessible space for all abilities, and I'm not afraid to recount horror stories from events!
Pixel Art
Pixel art has been a passion of mine since discovering the hobby editing sprite sheets in 2003. Over the past 20 years I have created numerous pieces, from small icons to larger, more elaborate pieces. Tool of choice is Aseprite, followed narrowly by pre-Windows 7 Microsoft Paint.
(Yes, there was a difference. Only true artists know about MS Paint's secret 10x zoom option)
