About

I’m Daniel Mark, a frontend engineer focused on building clear, dependable user experiences for technically complex products. My work sits at the intersection of frontend architecture, design systems, Web3 infrastructure, and enterprise-grade product engineering.

I’ve been building for the web for over seven years, with the last several focused on production systems where reliability, maintainability, and user trust matter. I care about interfaces that feel simple on the surface, even when the systems behind them are anything but.

Much of my recent work has been in Web3, not because of hype, but because the interface problems are genuinely hard. Wallets, permissions, transactions, network states, data integrity, and user trust all have to come together in ways that are clear, safe, and usable. That kind of complexity is where I do some of my best work.

Beyond code, my life is shaped most deeply by my Christian faith. I’m a Reformed Baptist, and my theology gives me perspective on work, success, suffering, discipline, and joy. It is not a separate compartment of my life. It shapes how I think, build, lead, and live.

Where I work

I currently serve as a Senior Front-End Platform Engineering Consultant at AxLabs, a Swiss software company focused on blockchain ecosystems, developer tools, and decentralized finance.

At AxLabs, I’ve worked across wallet integrations, frontend architecture, design systems, developer tooling, and full-scale Web3 applications. The work often involves turning complex technical requirements into interfaces that teams can maintain and users can trust.

Through full-time, consulting, and client-facing work, I’ve contributed to products connected with organizations and ecosystems including The Hashgraph Association, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Neo.

Those experiences have shaped how I approach engineering: move fast when needed, but never at the cost of clarity, reliability, or long-term maintainability.

How I build

My core stack is React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. I use them because they give me a strong foundation for building modern interfaces that can scale with both product complexity and team size.

I care deeply about frontend architecture: clean component APIs, strong typing, predictable state management, accessible UI primitives, thoughtful data fetching, automated testing, and CI/CD systems that help teams ship with confidence.

I’ve worked with tools like TanStack Query, React Hook Form, Zod, Zustand, Radix UI, Headless UI, Turborepo, pnpm, Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright, Docker, and GitHub Actions. In Web3 products, I’ve built across Ethereum, Neo, Hedera, and Layer 2 ecosystems using tools such as Wagmi, Viem, and RainbowKit.

On the design system and architecture side, I’ve been building Atlas, my frontend platform for shipping production-grade applications with reusable UI, typed patterns, testing, documentation, and scalable project structure built in.

In short, I approach engineering with an enterprise mindset. I do not just want software to work. I want it to last.

Beyond the keyboard

Faith and theology are central to my life. I spend a lot of time reading, reflecting, and wrestling with questions of belief, meaning, truth, and responsibility.

I’m also fascinated by history, especially World War II, the Renaissance, and the Enlightenment. Strategy, leadership, art, culture, and human failure all have a way of teaching lessons that still matter today.

Art has always shaped how I think. I’m drawn to the structure of Neoclassicism, the emotion of Post-Impressionism, and the ambition of the Renaissance masters. Good art, like good engineering, balances discipline and imagination.

I enjoy reading across theology, business, history, and technology. Right now, my reading includes Genesis, Knowing God by J.I. Packer, and The Facebook Effect by David Kirkpatrick.

Travel keeps me grounded. Mountains, seas, old cities, churches, museums, and quiet streets all remind me to think in longer time horizons and pay attention to beauty.

I also love music and live sound. Metallica sits at the top of that list. There is something unforgettable about the force of a great live performance, and something deeply impressive about the engineering that makes it possible.

I’m equally interested in business and systems thinking: how value flows, why incentives shape behavior, and why some products, teams, and ventures endure while others collapse.

Life motto

I approach engineering the same way I approach faith, travel, and art: with curiosity, discipline, and a desire to build things that last.

If any of this resonates with you, whether it is code, theology, history, systems, or just good conversation, I’d like to hear from you.
