Hi There! I'm Marc

I like to build things, especially educational technology.

Professional Projects

Rosetta Stone

Rosetta Stone's primary learning application needed a modern upgrade from Flash. We developed a new client application in React and Javascript from the ground up. Later, I led a team that created their next-generation multi-user audio/video/content tutoring platform in React and TypeScript.
