Who Am I? Marion Newlevant
You have reached the website of Marion Newlevant. I’m a software developer and a medium sized fish in the the small pond of Craft CMS.
I’ve been writing software for 40 years. I may not have seen it all, but I’ve seen many things, many of them more than once. The one constant is change. I love learning new things and meeting new challenges.
I'd love to help you with your Craft technology problems.
Lovely things people have said about me:
Marion is a pleasure to work with, and expertly crafted our new, responsive, website and web infrastructure for PatternAgents. She has a passion for clean, well documented code, which made all of our jobs much easier, and she taught us all a great deal by her example. We are happy to recommend her highly, and plan to work with her again.
Marion is not only a whip-smart, detail-oriented, meticulous programmer who can learn anything practically on-the-spot, in the unlikely event she doesn’t already know it, but she’s also one of those rare people who writes status reports, comments her code and tries to make it easily understandable, easy to modify, etc. and all those rare traits that used to define a Real Coder. Plus she’s a sweet-heart and a real joy to work with!
I probably spent more time working with Marion than anyone at Joingo. She was a pleasure to work with. She had an amazing ability to dive into a new area and master it — and probably worked on more areas of our software than anybody. Her computer language skills always amazed me — she quickly learned Python, Javascript, ExtJS, Django, SASS and wrote some of the cleanest code in our system.
Finally updated the design of my website! Design, illustration and contents are all me, and the underlying code is all my fabulous mother, who was a total saint about it.
Drives me to Drink.
Marion is an absolute superstar. She writes exceedingly clean code and always finds the most efficient way to build things. She’s also continually learning and adding new tricks to her repertoire, which is essential these days given the rapid pace of change in technology. On top of her impressive technical skills, she’s by far the easiest developer to work with that I’ve ever encountered. She’s very mellow and yet she sports a laser like focus on the details - she’s a treat to work with!
