Marcus Thorne
The Architect

Where data meets scale.

I am Marcus, a Backend Architect with a decade of experience in optimizing server-side performance and securing sensitive data flows.

I specialize in the "plumbing" of the internet—ensuring that microservices communicate flawlessly, databases are sharded for maximum speed, and security is never an afterthought.
