My name is Marc. I am a creative professional and software engineer with a unique background that bridges the media and entertainment industry with software development.

In 2010, I graduated from DeSales University in Center Valley, PA, with a major in Television/Film and a minor in Business. Early in my career, I spent two years as the lead editor of special programming for Reelz Channel. Following that, I freelanced for various online media outlets and brands such as Reddit, Pop Sci, and The Verge. I also worked as a colorist for feature films, short-form content, and dailies.

My career took a turn towards the Outdoor Industry, where I started The Crux Collective, a short-lived outdoor news aggregator, and later founded Rove Media, a one-man media consultancy. Through Rove Media, I created videos and materials for brands like L.L.Bean, Outside Online, Patrol USA, and GoPro.

From 2017 until 2024 I worked as a Senior Software Developer at Cinnafilm, contributing to the development of PixelStrings, a cloud-based video processing platform. My role involves designing and developing the API and backend, orchestrating cloud infrastructure, and maintaining a horizontally scalable video transcoding system. I leverage my proficiency in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and HTML/CSS, along with frameworks like Flask, Django, and FastAPI, to build robust and maintainable applications.

Since Q3 of 2024 I've worked as a Software Developer at Mux, where I work on the Ingest and Processing team.

In addition to my professional work, I am the creator of LineDream, a Python generative art library designed for SVG outputs and originally intended for pen plotter art. I am also developing a media asset management software called Asset Veranda.

I am currently enjoying the fruits of living in Bozeman, Montana where I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, and hiking.
