I’m Mark, a growth and commerce operator who builds end-to-end systems that turn media demand into measurable profit. I’ve spent years in entertainment and e-commerce, owning the full conversion surface—from programmable acquisition across Google, Meta, and Bing to landing pages, product experiences, and checkout—so performance loops close quickly. I build and ship software for commerce and marketing workflows, including React/Astro front ends, Cloudflare Workers, catalog/pricing/checkout APIs, and automated agents for production tasks like bid reporting and content operations across 40+ locales. I’m also experienced in leading teams and partnerships, with a track record of launching and scaling programs from zero, tightening measurement, and improving conversion outcomes through pragmatic, data-led execution.
