Pronounced /wʌntʃ/
MarkWunsch.com is the personal blahhg of me, Mark Wunsch.

Being a front-end engineer means that I work with the technologies in web development that handle client presentation and behavior. That’s HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: the stuff that comprises what the user sees (the user can be a person like you, or a spider robot like Google).
When I’m not hacking away at work, I'm trying to expand my knowledge about computer science and programming in general.

Colophon
Typography on this site is aided by a couple of Open Source fonts: headlines are set in Droid Serif, code samples are set in Inconsolata. Other text is Helvetica Neue and Georgia.
The icons used throughout the site are the Social Media Icons by Paul Robert Lloyd and the Social Network Icon Pack by Rogie King.
This site is generated by Jekyll and hosted by Media Temple. I write it on an Apple computer using TextMate.
Web Standards are my bread and butter, and this site should validate as HTML5.
