Hi, my name is
Marcus Loo.
I build
I'm a Senior Full Stack Engineer specializing in building (and occasionally designing) exceptional digital experiences. Currently, I'm focused on architecting scalable, full-stack solutions and robust backends using PHP and Laravel.
01.About Me
Hello! My name is Marcus and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. Technology has been a huge passion of mine especially being able to learn and use tech in different ways imaginable. I am able to multi task as well as highly open to learning new things even if its not related to my field. I strongly believe in work culture and team work. I always believe that in tech it is a never ending journey of growth and progress.
Fast-forward to today, and I've had the privilege of working at an advertising agency, a start-up, and a huge corporation. My main focus these days is building accessible, inclusive products and digital experiences for a variety of clients using robust backend technologies like PHP.
When I'm not at the computer, I'm usually hanging out with my friends, reading, or trying out a new hobby.
