I came to writing sideways. I started as a backend developer in London, building APIs and debugging database queries. I was decent at it, but I kept getting pulled into writing documentation because nobody else wanted to, and I was apparently the only engineer who could explain things without making people's eyes glaze over.
After five years of coding, I made the switch to full-time technical writing. Best career decision I ever made. I moved to Berlin for a startup that eventually folded, then freelanced for two years writing about AI and developer tools.
That's how I found rwrt. What drew me in was the technical challenge: how do you build a system that preserves something as subjective and messy as personal voice? It's a harder problem than most people realize, and writing about it never gets boring. Outside of work, I build mechanical keyboards (yes, it's a whole thing), coach a youth football team on weekends, and have a borderline unhealthy relationship with dark roast coffee.
Writing Philosophy
“Technical writing is a translation job. You're taking something complex and making it accessible without losing accuracy. If a reader has to Google a term you used, you didn't do your job.”

In Marcus's Words
“I write like an engineer: clear, structured, no fluff. But I've learned that 'clear' doesn't have to mean 'cold.' The best technical content has personality. You can explain perplexity scoring without putting people to sleep.”
