Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Marks is a pragmatic founder and lead consultant with 17 years of software engineering experience, blending hands-on development with strategic delivery for startups and enterprises from Decatur, Illinois. He has led greenfield platforms, rebuilt architectures to cut defects and accelerate development, and repeatedly shipped cross-platform mobile and desktop apps using React/React Native, TypeScript, C++ and game-focused toolchains. As cofounder of an indie game studio he built a 2D engine, composed all game audio, and helped attract over 30,000 players—illustrating a rare mix of systems-level engineering and creative product craft. He mentors teams, documents standards, and implements secure CI/CD and performance optimizations, while running his consulting practice to manage high-profile client projects end-to-end. Notably, he pairs deep low-level experience (custom engines, BLE integrations, embedded Lua) with modern web and mobile stacks, making him effective across both technical trenches and strategic client engagements.
