Full Stack Developer & Azure Solutions Architect
Hi, I’m Mark Foppen - a freelance full stack developer and Azure Solutions Architect who enjoys building things that work well—and make sense. Over the years, I’ve worked with larger companies and launched a startup to turn ideas into working software: SaaS platforms, cloud-native systems, and recently, AI-powered apps.
Certifications & Approach
I’m certified in Microsoft and GitHub certifications (including Azure Solutions Architect, GitHub Advanced Security), and I’ve always had a soft spot for building secure, scalable systems without overengineering everything. My approach is practical, I focus on shipping to production while keeping costs under control and avoiding tech debt wherever possible.
Sharing Knowledge
Beyond client work, I write about tech, cloud architecture, and software development on my blog. It’s partly to keep my thoughts organized and partly to share things I’ve learned the hard way.
Let’s Connect
If you’re working on something interesting—or need a hand making your idea production-ready—I’d love to chat. Just shoot me a message or connect with me online.
