I’m Mark McBride.  I live in San Francisco, CA.   I graduated from West Point with a degree in computer science and spent 5 years as an Army officer with a 2003 tour in Iraq leading a communications unit.

I’m now out of the military and lead a team that oversees the entire ERP implementation for the North American operations division of a large biopharmaceutical company in South San Francisco.  It’s pretty cool stuff.

I also develop web applications.  I am well-versed in HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, and Ruby, but it’s only a matter of minutes before I can make use of most any language, markup, etc.  My go-to web framework is Ruby on Rails with MySQL and Apache doing the dirty work.  I’ve done everything from small personal sites for friends, to full-blown do-everything sites for companies.

Professional Resources

• Résumé, 2 pdfs available (short/long versions)
• LinkedIn, I update this less frequently, but it’s a good resource for people I’ve worked with.

Active Web Projects

• Lunchpool, a social networking for free lunch.  For now, I’m the chief everything for this project.
• OmniNerd, a blog site for nerds. I co-founded the site back in 2004. There’s a small team maintaining it, but I still do most of the changes.
