Hi, I'm Marco.
I build
This is my little corner of the internet — home base for the projects I build, break, and (eventually) finish.

01Projects
I've built many things but I can't share much — mostly because I'm not allowed to.
// status: still thinking what else I can share
const projects = [
{
name: "RocketSplit",
status: "live",
stack: ["Next.js", "Prisma", "PostgreSQL"],
},
{
name: "Fretly",
status: "live",
stack: ["HTML", "CSS", "JS"],
},
];
projects.forEach(p => share(p)); // eventually
02About
Hey, I'm Marco 👋 By day I manage massive enterprise cloud systems. By night — and most weekends — I'm usually elbow-deep in some random engineering project, a lot of which solve extremely niche problems that no one else will ever have. This site is a collection of the ones that might actually help someone else.
I've been joining robotics competitions, hackathons, case competitions, and engineering challenges since I was a kid. I like building things just for the fun of it. I actually have a manufacturing engineering degree specializing in robotics, which is a roundabout way of saying I have no formal software degree — I just kept building more things until a lot of them needed to be made out of lines of code.
I'm the kind of person who'll happily fall down a rabbit hole learning something completely unrelated to whatever I'm used to doing, just because it seemed interesting — especially if it gives me a new way to understand how things work. This site, and whatever ends up in the projects section, is mostly a byproduct of that.
