Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarc Abbey is a creative technologist and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building scalable realtime web applications, particularly at the intersection of music, immersive media, and live interaction. As co-founder of Original Is Better and former Head of Engineering at Infinite Objects, he has combined product leadership with hands-on engineering to launch AI-driven consumer products and integrate blockchain/NFT workflows into physical media. He led frontend engineering for Moody’s first ML product and has a track record of shipping complex streaming and 360° live platforms from his time co-founding Svrround. An active open-source contributor, Marc contributed DOM and transform features to the widely used p5.js library, improving HTML element translation/rotation and adding form controls. Based in New York and trained at NYU’s ITP, he pairs studio practice—performing at SXSW and producing music-oriented interactive experiences—with production-grade architecture skills across Node, WebGL, and realtime stacks. He’s equally comfortable teaching and shipping: from classroom instruction and arts fellowships to deploying billboard-scale interactive installations.
