Hi, I’m

Marco Martinez

Hi there! I’m a seasoned software engineer with a proven track record of delivering impactful solutions that drive business growth and streamline processes. Over the past 5+ years, I’ve taken on roles that range from refactoring complex systems to spearheading greenfield projects, thriving in environments where innovation and collaboration are key. Currently, I serve as a Senior Software Engineer at Paycom, where I’ve been instrumental in enhancing RESTful APIs and mentoring developers on modern technologies like React and TypeScript. With expertise in full-stack development—spanning front-end technologies like React and Vue.js to back-end systems in C#, Go, and PHP, I am passionate about implementing best practices to build robust, scalable, and maintainable systems.

Outside of work, I’ve explored mobile development through iOS and Flutter, bringing personal projects to life and honing my skills in crafting user-focused experiences. When I’m not coding, I channel my energy into fitness and adventure. Whether it’s running marathons around the world, cycling across states, or summiting peaks in the North Cascades, I’m driven by a desire to push myself to the limit and embrace challenges. These experiences inspire my creativity and reinforce my belief in the power of resilience and goal-setting. Values that guide me both in life and in software development. With a passion for building impactful applications and a commitment to continuous growth, I’m always eager to tackle what’s next!
