Hello, stranger! I'm Mark, a software engineer in Seattle who pursues various things in his free time, like game development, spartan race training, learning Japanese, and more. All in all, I'm centered around just making more human and less attention-grabby content. Hopefully I'll continue to keep it as real as I can. Thanks for dropping by! Software I Use: Adobe Premiere Pro, Audition, and Photoshop Blender 3D, Godot, OBS Check out the links below for some other great resources! If you're reaching out about business inquiries, affiliations, etc., please note: I am not able to take affiliations at this time, and I am not interested in outsourcing my editing. Thanks!
