Mark Norman

I am a Full Stack Engineer with over 10 years of experience in building scalable, production-grade web applications using the MERN stack. My expertise lies in designing resilient frontends and architecting performant backend APIs, which has allowed me to optimize full-stack performance effectively. I have a proven track record of accelerating product delivery through modern DevOps practices, mentoring engineering teams, and driving reliability improvements in high-traffic environments.

In my current role as a Senior Full Stack Developer at Konbea, I engineered core marketplace modules using React 18 and Redux, achieving a 40% improvement in Time to Interactive. My work in optimizing backend services with Node.js and MongoDB has significantly reduced API response latency. I also take pride in mentoring junior engineers and enhancing team collaboration, which has boosted our overall velocity.

Previously, I worked at Dumbstruck, delivering enterprise-level applications for Fortune 500 clients. My experience includes developing backend systems with Express and MongoDB, implementing AWS-based infrastructure, and advocating for design system consistency. I am passionate about leveraging my deep MERN expertise to build innovative, user-centric solutions that make a difference.
