Hi, I'm Mark.
Running a web agency, building my own products, and growing food in suburban Boston.
See my work →About
I got my start on the founding team of CampusLIVE at UMass, a dorm room startup that grew into a multi-million dollar company backed by Highland Capital Partners and CRV. From there I joined Google Ventures-backed CustomMade, where I built frontend systems connecting thousands of artisans with customers seeking custom goods.
After that I spent five years as an independent consultant, working with Boston-area startups across fintech, healthcare, and beyond. In 2020 I co-founded VisualBoston, where I lead engineering. My current focus is AI-first development, building tools and workflows that fundamentally change how digital products get made.

CampusLIVE
Joined the founding team at UMass. Grew from a dorm-room idea into a multi-million dollar company backed by Highland Capital Partners and CRV.
CustomMade
Built frontend systems at Google Ventures-backed CustomMade, connecting thousands of artisans with customers seeking custom goods.
Independent Consulting
Five years working with Boston-area startups across fintech, healthcare, and consumer products as a freelance engineer and technical lead.
Co-founded VisualBoston
Launched a boutique engineering and design agency with a focus on ambitious digital products and AI-first development.
Building with AI
Shipping TallyQuote (proposal-to-booking for contractors) and GardenMates (land-sharing marketplace for gardeners) , both AI-native from day one.
Projects
A proposal-to-booking platform for contractors. The client describes what they need, AI drafts a proposal, the contractor tweaks and sends it, and the client can sign and schedule, all in one flow.
GardenMates
Land-sharing for gardeners
Connects people who want to grow food with neighbors who have unused outdoor space. Landowners get a cut of the harvest or a monthly fee. Gardeners get a plot without needing a yard.
Interests
A few things I spend serious time on. Each has its own space to go deeper.
Get In Touch
Open to consulting engagements, collaboration on interesting projects, or just a conversation about building things.
