Colin Marshall is a senior software developer with 11 years of professional experience and a long history of shipping reliable, production-grade systems across logistics, enterprise ERP, and web front-ends. He combines deep backend skills (C#, .NET, DB2, SQL stored-procedure tuning and ETL) with modern front-end expertise, having been a core contributor to ZURB’s widely used Foundation framework and maintaining the FoundationPress WordPress starter theme. At Gardner Trucking he built Windows services to automate data ingestion from Excel/PDF into DB2, improving data integrity and operational efficiency, and earlier roles involved heavy reporting, data-warehouse and install/build automation work. Collected experience across legacy and modern stacks gives him a knack for refactoring brittle systems into maintainable pipelines and build processes. He’s based in Moreno Valley, CA and brings an engineer’s attention to developer experience—adding visual tests, ES6 modernization, and build automation to open-source projects.
