About Marissa

Marissa is a Senior Developer who is passionate about building new user interfaces, improving user experiences, and implementing beautiful designs with equally beautiful markup. With versatility and an aptitude for learning new things, Marissa can jump into unfamiliar languages, frameworks, and existing web applications and quickly gain proficiency.

Although originally self-taught, Marissa credits her growth as a developer over the years to her colleagues, mentors, conferences she’s attended, and the projects she’s worked on. She’s been a member of the Agathon team since 2011 and has worked on marquee projects including the iTickets.com platform and the Truth For Life mobile app.

While most of Marissa’s work is behind-the-scenes, she also enjoys developing and fostering relationships with our clients, meeting fascinating people from diverse backgrounds and fields, learning about what drives them in their various professions, and gaining a broader understanding of their projects through their stories.

In her spare time, Marissa can be found working on DIY home projects and learning more about interior design, playing video games, and knitting or crocheting. She and her husband Paul have an eight-year-old son, Aden, and a golden retriever mix named Caprica, inspired by one of her all-time favorite sci-fi series, Battlestar Galactica.
