Mentry founder

Mark

Senior Software Engineer · Scrum Master · Product Maker

I build products with engineering discipline, and I do the whole thing in public.

5+ years as a software engineer, with an M.S. in Computer Science from National Taipei University of Technology. I have shipped backend and full-stack systems, built automated testing and CI/CD pipelines, run security reviews, and led teams as a Scrum Master. Right now I am building Mentry from zero in 100 days, sharing the website, SEO, newsletter and monetization entirely in public.

What I work with

Why Mentry

There is no shortage of tutorials online, but most stop at "it runs." The part I want to fill is what comes after: keeping it running, maintaining it, shipping it, and making it earn. That is the work I actually do, so that is what I write about.
