Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarcus Wood is a Staff Engineer based in New York with a decade of experience building developer platforms, consumer products, and startups. He co-founded and exited CampsiteTonight—a Kayak-like search engine for campsites—and has led product and engineering at early-stage companies including Bounty and his agency Caldera, delivering Node, serverless, and React solutions for clients like PwC. Now at Reddit he focuses on developer platform work, combining hands-on engineering with product sensibility from his Head of Product background. Marcus maintains practical open-source projects (preact-island, wave-snippets, slate-test-utils) that reveal a focus on lightweight UI tooling and test utilities. He blends entrepreneurial grit with full-stack fluency and a knack for turning niche ideas (like a Game of Thrones prediction game and an inbound email proxy for hiring) into shipped products. Trained as an honors graduate in Entrepreneurial Management and Marketing from Virginia Tech, he pairs technical depth with business-first thinking.
