About Mark Cohen
There are a lot of Mark Cohens out there, so consider this your digital disambiguation page. If you’re looking for the Mark Cohen who’s into tech, gadgets, and a bit of DIY chaos, you’ve found the right one.
I’m a digital tech guy living in Sydney, Australia, with my awesome family (who put up with my endless tinkering). By day, I dive deep into software and product development, but outside of work, you’ll find me wandering around Maroubra hunting for great coffee, experimenting in the garden, or snapping photos with whatever camera—or gadget—I’m obsessed with at the time.
Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, I made the move to Australia in 2001 and never looked back. My career has taken me from running a tech consulting business in South Africa to leading innovative teams at Fairfax, Domain, DealsDirect, and Elcom. These days, I focus on building impactful products and solutions for the Asia-Pacific market at MRI Software.
Whether it’s work, play, or a weekend DIY project that spirals into something far more complex than intended, I bring the same enthusiasm to everything I do—because life’s too short to be boring.
