About Me

I’m Marcus — part Scrum Master, part career coach, and part translator of ‘tech-speak’ for people who don’t have tech backgrounds (yet).

What I believe

  • Careers are built like sprints. Small wins, stacked over time, create big growth.

  • The best lessons come from everyday life. Time with friends, diving into hobbies, telling stories, and crafting analogies makes career growth click.

  • Experimenting matters more than perfection. One imperfect step forward is worth more than standing still.

What I value

  • Playful professionalism. Growth should feel exciting, messy, and human — not stiff, overly polished, or intimidating.

  • Empathy over ego. Meet people where they are; no one’s too “junior” to be taken seriously.
