About Me

Mark Koester is a #datadriven self-tracker, writer, and builder.

My Five Personas: Traveler, Helper, Learner, Self-Improver, and Creative.

I build on these core areas as a self-tracker, mobile app and web developer, Drupal-er, hacker, teacher, lecturer, traveller, polyglot, writer, mystical atheist, contributor of free and open source software and "community" guy.

Mark owns a web development shop Int3c.com, which he has operated since 2009. He previously ran Regional Development for Techstars and UP Global in Greater China. He is passionate about open source technologies and entrepreneurship. View Professional History.

Where have I been? He is originally from Omaha, Nebraska, United States, and has been living abroad for over a decade, including significant time in France, Spain, China and Southeast Asia. He is rather nomadic but likely these days to be found somewhere in China or Asia diving, writing, and building stuff.

What I'm Working On

I'm a strong believer in the getting things done mentality. I don't necessarily follow every tenat, but growing and self-improvement is a personal journey. Here are my two current goals: 1. Learn Chinese and 2. Write More and More Regularly
