Mark Murphy
Senior Software
Engineering Manager

As a Senior Software Engineering Manager, one-third of my time is devoted to managing development teams in building, testing, and deploying custom web and mobile applications. I work with stakeholders to turn ideas into reality through project planning, resource management, cross-functional collaboration, and execution.

My remaining time is dedicated to operating as a Senior Engineer where I lead development, provide mentorship, review code, and architect solutions. I am comfortable working across the stack building robust APIs in C# and .NET Core or optimizing stored procedures in SQL Server, but my true passion lies in frontend development. I believe UX, performance, and caring about the little details are key to crafting delightful software experiences. My primary expertise includes but is not limited to React.js/React Native, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML, CSS/SCSS/Tailwind, C#/.NET Core, SQL Server, and Azure.

As a former Big-Ten athlete, my strong work ethic, desire to get better every day, and positive attitude drive my detail-oriented and process-driven leadership style. Over the past eight years at MorelandConnect and General Motors, I have successfully managed, developed, and delivered over 35 successful projects for more than 20 satisfied clients.
