About Me
Hi, I am Mark Hodge. I have been a Software Engineer in the logistics industry for over three years, primarily working on backend projects. My front-end skills are self-taught, and this website is part of that. I am originally from Louisiana but earned my degree in Engineering from Mississippi State University in 2020. Hail State! After college, work brought me to Arkansas, where I live now. I am also a Commissioned Officer in the Arkansas Army National Guard, currently in the process of becoming an Army Aviator. I love coffee, the outdoors, history, and personal finance. I have the technical skills that make me a good developer, but my wealth of other non-technical and technical skills make me a valuable asset to any business.
