Open to remote opportunities

Hi, I'm Mark Derho.

From the first issue of Wired in 1993 to AI today — 30+ years in the trenches of technology. I've held every role, led real teams, shipped real contracts, and written 1,600+ articles about it. Now I bring that hands-on foundation to AI implementation that actually delivers.

From Traditional Roles to AI

Three decades of hands-on work — every role, real teams, real contracts — now applied to AI implementation that delivers.

Every Role, Done

Designer, developer, project manager, QA, SEO, content, docs, digital marketing — I didn't observe these roles, I held them. 30+ years across Fortune 500s, startups, government, and media gave me a hands-on foundation few AI leaders can claim.

Led Real Teams

Director at CarDay managing nine devs. Founder of Tech Savvy NYC. Led BIKE RENT NYC to a six-year, $60M contract with NYC and Central Park, supporting 150+ people. I lead from the work, not from a deck.

Journalist & Translator

1,600+ published articles on AI, tech, real estate, hospitality, and business leadership. I've interviewed CEOs and founders and learned to make complex technology land for both business and technical audiences.

AI, Implemented

Three years all-in on AI — every single day. Research, video, music, web apps. Not theory, not slides: working implementations. 11 Google certifications on top of 30 years of shipping. That's what I bring to AI transformation.

Don't read about me. Ask me.

My AI agent knows my full background. Ask about my experience, run a mock interview, or test whether I'm a fit for your role — right now, in real time.
