Background

About Marcus Prater

A self-taught Front-End Developer with a background in quality engineering and over three years of hands-on experience building clean, responsive, and accessible websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. After a decade of working in high-stakes, detail-oriented environments, I transitioned into web development driven by a passion for gaming and technology, creating intuitive, user-focused digital experiences. I’ve built projects like SoleGrid, a sneaker culture blog with JSON-rendered content and dark mode; StreamX, a TMDB-powered streaming discovery app; and a minimalist portfolio site from scratch—all designed with performance, accessibility, and clean UI in mind. Currently learning React to deepen my skill set and build dynamic, scalable front-end applications. I bring a QA mindset, strong documentation habits, and a team-first attitude to every project I touch. Let’s connect—I'm looking for a front-end development role where I can learn, contribute, and help build great user experiences. Check out my projects and code on GitHub: github.com/MacMittenss
