Code, creativity, and improv: navigating the unexpected.

Hey, I'm Marty! I help build great developer experiences, from documentation to dev tools. I have a lot of experience with modern monorepos and React. I built a VSCode extension (called "CSS to Go") in mostly Rust for autocompleting CSS classnames. I've worked on a task manager app (who hasn't these days?) that I'm aiming to be local-first, cloud-optional, and polished because it's fun. I love reading, drumming, some writing, and figuring hard problems out. I've worked with a lot of tech over the 10+ years I've been a developer, and I love the inflection point we are at in the industry. The future is bright! I am currently a Frontend Developer at Race Roster , based out of Ontario, Canada.
