Mark joined the AWAL team in October 2008. Having studied the Tonmeister degree in Music and Sound Engineering, he spent a year mixing film sound tracks for Technicolor. In 2006 he became a freelance web developer, later co-founding SolarBerry Interactive Media Ltd. Here Mark specialised in interactive development. He jumped at an opportunity to join AWAL as it drew together both his musical background and online experience. He has since conceived and led development of the BuzzDeck platform.
