He also participated in integration testing and applied tools like Docker and Kubernetes to ensure scalable, secure delivery. His role extended beyond code, he actively collaborated with testers, product owners, and designers to ensure alignment across the team.

In the financial sector, Mark built a Laravel-based application for investment analysis and created a custom Chrome extension for data scraping, storing the data in MySQL and using clustering techniques in Python to build a Customer Lifetime Value model. These multidisciplinary projects reflect his versatility and eagerness to explore the broader landscape of software development.

Mark is a pragmatic, communicative team player who enjoys bringing people together and connecting business needs with technical solutions. He thrives in collaborative environments where ownership, quality, and continuous learning are valued.
