About

Hi, my name is Mark, welcome to my website. I'm based in a little village called Todwick, near Sheffield in the UK. I've been working in IT for over 35 years. Currently I work as an Engineering Manager for a company based in the UK delivering software to businesses across the globe. I started off my IT journey on a ZX81 while at school and loved working with computers ever since. I've had many roles in my career but being an Engineering Manager is where I get the most enjoyment. I get to help developers fulfil their full potential and see them grow and progress.

My CV describes me as a senior Engineering Manager with a deep commitment to building generative cultures where developers thrive, delivery improves naturally, and teams produce high‑quality, predictable outcomes. I focus on psychological safety, coaching, mentoring, and shaping healthy engineering systems that empower people to become the strongest versions of themselves. My leadership approach blends delivery accountability with empathy, clarity, technical credibility, and a constant drive for improvement.

On this website I try to share some of the insights and knowledge I have gathered over the length of my career to hopefully help people to be the best versions of themselves.
