Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGuy Marriott is a web developer with 11 years of experience building e-commerce, booking platforms and bespoke websites from backend PHP frameworks to polished frontend interfaces. Currently at Grinding Gear Games, he blends full-stack work with sustained open-source contributions to Silverstripe and Laravel tooling, improving framework internals, CMS UX, and API documentation generation. Past roles at Commerce.js and Seekom show a strong track record in Jamstack e-commerce flows, payments integration and cross-cutting refactors that improve maintainability. He’s comfortable across the stack—PHP, JavaScript/Next.js, and API tooling—and often focuses on subtle UX and state-management edge cases that surface only at scale. Not actively looking for new opportunities, he nonetheless continues to shape developer-facing projects and documentation in widely used open-source repos.
