Hello! I've decided to put together this page as an informal way to show various projects and activities I'm involved in. If you've worked with me professionally (or are looking to do so), please connect with me on [**LinkedIn**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/markwayneseattle/) if you have not done so already.

**Meetups:**

I've been a regular user of [**Meetup**](https://www.meetup.com/) since 2021 and am the current main organizer for the following groups, each of which have their own documentation hub:

* [**Downtown Bellevue Walking Group**](https://eastside-universe.gitbook.io/downtown-bellevue-walking-group/) - A group dedicated to going on walks in and around the Downtown Bellevue area in a relaxed social setting.
* [**Bellevue Coffee Shop Crawl**](https://app.gitbook.com/o/mzLZpmwfIxzBJ9uSwz18/s/wEFyLm9ay4NsXW9jkDyQ/) - A group dedicated to coffee and conversations at different coffee shops in the Downtown Bellevue area.

**Music:**

**Language Learning:**

I've been using [**Duolingo**](https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Mark_Wayne) on a regular basis. While I find fully immersive environments to be the most effective, my schedule has lately been more full.&#x20;
