Marsel is a badass cook and baker. Every Sunday, he makes an entire meal plus dessert from scratch, feeding his creativity. And his innovation doesn’t stop there—as a Front-End Developer at Interactive Strategies, Marsel creatively constructs client websites while exploring new and inventive ways to code.

Marsel’s strength comes from old-fashioned notetaking. He likes to leave a map for the future developer—which is often himself. He places equal importance on front- and back-end technologies, easily navigating systems and languages, including HTML 5, CSS3, Javascript, PHP, React and SQL. Through his experience launching content-based, consumer-focused websites, Marsel learned the secrets to optimizing SEO performance and designing social media marketing strategies to drive traffic.

Before he got into coding, Marsel was a U.S. Army soldier, providing critical medical treatment as an Army Combat Medic and developing health tracking databases. Outside of work, you can find Marsel training at the gym, checking off his fitness goals. Next up: competing in a bodybuilding event.
