Hi, I’m Mark.

I’m a front-end developer at Bank of New Zealand. I empower people to create beautiful user experiences through the use of design systems while embracing usability and accessiblity, and to use the latest front-end technologies to achieve it.

Originally from Hawke’s Bay, I now call Wellington home. I’m a massive football fan, and a keen runner. When I’m not working, you can find me going for a jog or enjoying a flat white.

My philosophy

  • The simplest solution is the best solution 99% of the time
  • Great products are born from iteration, not perferctionism
  • Great products are built by teams, not one person
  • Put the user at the centre of every decision
  • Be curious and build things
  • Self-education is the key to massive breakthroughs
