I build fast, useful things
for the web

Engineer based in the UK. I care about quick interfaces, local-first software, and the craft behind a good screen — the same way I care about the craft behind a good film. A few things on this page react; go find them.

Films that rewired something

Five films I keep coming back to — and each one reacts. Hover on a desktop, tap on a phone. There's something hidden in every row.

The lab

Small interactive things I want to build into a little arcade. Not playable yet — they're next on the bench.

Reaction soon

Wait for green. Click as fast as you can. Try to beat 200ms.

Sequence soon

A Simon-style memory game. How long can you keep the chain alive?

About

Hi — I'm Marc. I'm a software engineer who likes building things that feel obvious to use but are doing something interesting under the hood. I care a lot about craft: typography, motion, the way a button feels when you press it.

Most of my work lives where web, tools, and automation meet. Outside of that I write a bit, watch a lot of films, and slowly chip away at side projects that may or may not ever ship.

Say hi

Built something cool, want to collaborate, or just want to argue about a film? My inbox is open.
