Marcus Tomlinson is a software engineer and author with well over a decade’s experience in both closed- and open-source, cross-platform software development. Immediately following his university career, Marcus landed his first job at Africa's leading manufacturer of electronic security products: IDS, where at the age of 21, he co-created a modular test jig system to help the company keep up with its rapidly growing product demand (A system that is still in effect today). At 25, he went on to land his first senior role at the world's largest supplier of military and mining simulators: ThoroughTec, making him the youngest employee to hold the position. During his time there, Marcus completely overhauled the company's internal audio engine, as well as created a data-flow framework to modularise and simulate complex vehicle control systems. In late 2013, Marcus landed a job at the open-source software giant: Canonical, designing and developing the Ubuntu Unity Shell. From 2013 to 2016, he rose up the ranks from Engineer to Technical Lead on the Ubuntu Personal team, and presented at a number of open-source developer summits. Marcus has since served as Committee Chairman at The Computer Science Association of South Africa, developed software for the UK Government, worked with the Flutter team at Google, and written multiple critically acclaimed publications on programming, career development, and engineering management.
