I'm Marcus Virginia. I build cool stuff with web technology.

Hey there! I'm a software engineer who's all about using web technology to tackle real-world challenges and make a positive impact on people's lives. Whether that means building more accessible tools or creating inclusive online experiences, I'm always looking for ways to solve problems using technology.

For me, it's not just about writing code—it's about collaborating directly with the folks who will actually use the product, working hand-in-hand with stakeholders, and learning from domain experts to ensure what I build truly matters.

I'm pretty passionate about products that align with my values, challenge me to grow professionally, and let me explore new tech. Lately, I've been diving into LLMs, trying to apply it to many different use-cases to enhance productivity and experience. I'm also intrigued by WASM, Web Containers, PWAs, and Developer Experience—if it's new and exciting, I want to check it out.

When I'm not heads-down building software, you'll likely find me catching a flight somewhere, switching up my scenery and sampling the local cuisine (Japanese food is top-tier in my book!). I'm into fashion too—think minimalist vibes and some streetwear flair. As for downtime, video games are my go-to for art, storytelling, and just plain fun. The Witcher 3, God of War, and Control are some personal favorites, and I'll forever remember when NBA 2K was at its peak (2017, I'm looking at you).

To keep myself active, basketball's my sport, and I do my best to try and hit the gym on a regular basis—emphasis on “try.”

If any of this resonates with you, or if you just want to talk tech, travel, or trends, feel free to reach out to me. I'm always up for a good conversation!
