About your teacher
Hi, I'm Marcos, an experienced web and app developer. I've deployed both websites and mobile apps for international clients and helped them optimise their platforms and improved their conversion rates. I like helping enerpreneurs take control of their websites so they don't have to rely on external developers or feel constrained by predetermined website themes that don't suit their businesses needs.
