Hi š, I'm Mark
A software engineer from London
Four years ago, I first downloaded Python and VS Code to write a simple webscraper for an online dictionary. I found such satisfaction in seeing the HTML element text printed in my Terminal window that I felt driven to keep exploring the world of software, investigating new technologies, and seeing how I can apply them to existing problems.
Since then, I have explored coding, data science, data engineering, machine learning, and software development through my own projects, internships, the Le Wagon Web Development bootcamp, and working as a software engineer at Capco.
In this time I have learnt three things:
- I love the unique intellectual challenges posed by working in the world of software, with all of its breadth, technical complexity, and pace of innovation
- I appreciate the importance of technology and tech literacy, as it is all around us (often without us noticing!)
- I want to dedicate my career to building software and contribute to the changes that are shaping society today
Take a look at my projects and my GitHub Pages blog. Connect with me on LinkedIn. Reach out to me at m.decourcyling@gmail.com if you want to discuss anything or work together (especially if it involves natural language processing, machine translation or language learning).
In the meantime, Iām currently working on data engineering and machine learning, polishing my SQL skills and improving my cloud skills by learning Azure.
When Iām away from my computer Iām usually keeping up my foreign language skills, reading about history or at my local sports club.
