Hi, I'm Mark.

Founder, Swiftify

I didn't start out knowing finance. Five years ago I joined a Fortune 500 investment firm as a contract engineer with zero background in banking, settlement, or compliance, and taught myself the domain from the ground up. That work earned a two-year contract extension, a full-time offer, and eventually a promotion to lead a five-engineer team rebuilding the platform that onboards the firm's highest-net-worth clients. Along the way I've taken three products from a blank page to production, and gotten systems processing tens of millions of dollars a day down to zero downtime failures. It also taught me to map out how information actually moves through a system, a request comes in, gets checked, gets stored, and a response goes back out, before writing a single line of code. That habit is what makes a site feel quick and stay cheap to run as it grows, instead of slowing down and getting more expensive to host the bigger it gets.

I started Swiftify because I wanted to bring that same standard, plan it properly, build it right the first time, ship fast without cutting corners, to small businesses and solo founders who usually can't access that level of engineering. When you hire me, you're working directly with the person doing the building, not getting handed off to a junior dev or a templated process. I'm reachable by call, text, or email throughout your project, and I build with the same automation-first mindset I use at my day job, which is part of why a landing page can go from kickoff to launch in a single day.

I'm based in Southern California. Outside of client work, I'm usually still building, either on Swiftify itself or experimenting with the newest AI-assisted development tools, the same kind I put to work automating the busywork on your site.
