Hello, I'm Mark
My love affair with technology started at age 4 with a BBC Micro. That curiosity led me to a BSc in Software Engineering and a career spanning some of the UK's largest enterprises.
After years at Fujitsu, EDS, Royal Mail, CSC, and Hewlett Packard, I went freelance in 2013 and founded Martkos IT in 2016. The name? It's derived from the Latin word for "Mark" - because this company is personal.
What sets me apart? My quirky approach. I've seen enough enterprise IT to know that the best solutions often come from thinking differently.
