Connecting Digital Experience

Hello! I'm Mark, a website professional with experience
in web development, product management and networking.

About

I started coding websites with design experiments, and from there was hired by a local ISP as their Webmaster. It was a full-spectrum introduction into web development, from crafting websites to running the web-hosting department.

I've developed an approach to technology that draws from every role i've had. I am currently the Product Manager & Technical Product Owner for our corporate website & microsites. I'm in charge of the developer relationship and help launch new features for our AEM platform.

When I'm not working, I enjoy writing music, art and gaming.

Work

I currently work at UnitedHealth Group as a Product Manger / Product Owner in External Capabilities. In previous roles, I created code and posted content for the corporate website, foundation and stride wellness blog. I also piloted a podcast program that connected executive talent and perspectives with healthcare initiatives.

Recent Projects

Development Work on UnitedHealth Group

A majority of my previous development and content work was executional: I updated content pages, press releases and investor information. But I provided the most value by extending the Front-End of our AEM instance. I created custom HTML, CSS and Javascript that reduced the workload on the Back-End Development team.

Some examples:

Dashboard with Chart.js

I created a static dashboard with Chart.js here. Bonus learning about Tailwind CSS, which was used here.

Older Selected Projects

Although it's been a while since I've done freelance work, here are a couple of select sites I've reworked in a responsive fashion.

Join My Village (General Mills)

Join My Village was my first modern layout, for 2011. I tried to reimagine it more responsively, along with some javascript for interactivity. I started this with a UX study, available here.

Original concept design here.
