Senior🎓
Top SchoolGrant Mackenzie is a seasoned front-end and XML-focused web development manager with 12+ years delivering rapid, test-driven interfaces and content-management solutions from Franklin, Auckland. He blends hands-on expertise in HTML5/CSS3, JavaScript, Sass, Node.js and GIT with deep knowledge of native XML stacks—eXist, XQuery/XPath, XSLT—and Atom/WebDAV publishing. As manager of markup.co.nz since the mid-1990s, he consults across requirements gathering, wireframing, prototyping and automation via scripting (Bash, Python, Ruby, XMLSH). Grant prefers Unix environments and build tooling like NPM and custom scripts but is comfortable across Windows and NGINX reverse-proxy setups. He brings an unusual mix of technical delivery and adult training experience, translating complex content workflows into maintainable systems. With a BA in Philosophy and Sociology, he pairs analytical thinking with pragmatic engineering to solve content-heavy web problems.
