Top SchoolMarcus Michaels is a Web Engineering Lead based in London with 12 years of experience building user-centered web products across startups and large organisations. He blends hands-on full‑stack engineering with a strong background in design and advertising, delivering polished interfaces and practical, scalable systems. At Ffern he progressed from Senior Frontend Developer to leading the web team while remaining contributor across the stack, having modernised CI, consolidated repos into a Turborepo and introduced Storybook for design consistency. As director of a boutique digital studio he continues to take on bespoke projects, and his prior roles include rebuilding regionalised marketing platforms and shipping product features at scale with React and Ruby on Rails. He’s equally comfortable mentoring teams and writing production code, and still describes his GitHub presence as “forever under construction,” hinting at a pragmatic, iterative approach to craft. A coffee enthusiast and former founder of a high‑traffic content site, he combines creative instincts with delivery-focused engineering.
