My name is Mark John Buenconsejo, and here are 10 things about me:

1. I am a computer programmer, and have been coding since the 90s.
2. I strive to improve my practice of wondering, curious, reflecting, vulnerability, coding, advising, coaching, and facilitating.
3. I am interested in using software to help solve big problems in the field of Healthcare, Education, Finance, and Economic Opportunity.
4. I am curious about many things (specially social behavior), and obsess in understanding them, and learning deeper.
5. I prefer working in a small team, with big ambitions.
6. I have co-started a few businesses, since 1999. My most recent one is Next Level.
7. I like to go on an adventure, discover things, endure hard stuffs, and grow my boundaries.
8. I like being outdoors, be it by run, hike, bike, swim, or camp. One day or multi-day events are interesting for me.
9. The longest endurance activity i have finished was 12hrs on a run, and i look forward to extending this in the future.
10. I live with my wife and our 3 kids, in Cebu, Philippines.
