Marc caught the programming bug as a child when the internet was still text-based and accessed by a 9600 baud modem.

His career path is unique; he initially studied music and played the oboe professionally with Canadian symphony orchestras before returning to his coding roots as a full-stack engineer.

Passionate about enhancing the developer’s quality of life, Marc excels in testing, tooling, and automation. Beyond the technical realm, he explores ways to promote happiness, health, and connection in a remote work setting.

As a two-time cancer survivor, Marc is on a mission to help and inspire others facing adversity. He founded Port Perry Pedals, an annual cycling fundraiser in the Greater Toronto Area, raising close to $120,000 since 2021 for healthcare in his community.

Marc first appeared on the DjangoConUS stage in 2023 and has since jointed the team at Lincoln Loop.
