I'm Mark Yudt, a web professional with 10+ years of experience spanning digital content management, web design, and front-end development for globally recognized brands. My career began in graphic design and evolved into full-stack web work, giving me a rare ability to operate across both the creative and technical sides of digital production. Most recently I've been working as a Digital Marketing Developer for Fujifilm Holdings America Corporation, managing content publishing and web operations across multi-lingual corporate websites in 4 countries using both WordPress and Drupal CMS platforms. Before that I served as WordPress Developer for SharkNinja, where I led a full site migration and custom theme build that improved performance by 50%, and for Earl Enterprises, where I managed web content and digital marketing across 9+ restaurant and hospitality brands simultaneously. My longest tenure was 12 years at Hard Rock International, where I oversaw digital assets and content operations for 76 countries and 262 locations globally. What makes me stand out is the combination of breadth and depth. I understand content management workflows at an enterprise scale, I can build and troubleshoot at the code level when needed, and I bring a designer's eye to everything I publish — which means quality issues get caught early. I'm highly organized, comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously, and I work well under the direction of senior team members while taking full ownership of my individual tasks. I'm also an active user of AI tools in my workflow, which helps me work faster and more efficiently across production tasks.
