Summary
Marvin Parke is a full-stack developer and software trainer with 12 years of experience building durable, modular web applications across LAMP and MERN stacks. He teaches and mentors developers through his CODEX33 platform and prior roles at Wyzant and Codecademy, specializing in React/Redux, Node/Express, and pragmatic JavaScript (ES6). Marvin favors simplicity, separation of concerns, and reusable "lego" components—an approach that has kept his projects working across platform and tech shifts for nearly a decade. Comfortable with backend ops (NGINX, SSH), databases (MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL), and testing (Mocha/Chai), he blends hands-on development with practical curriculum design. Based in New York and open to remote work, he offers paid 1:1 pair programming and free practice sessions that emphasize scalable, performant architectures. An often-overlooked strength is his history of sustaining long-lived applications, demonstrating a bias for maintainability as much as feature delivery.
