The Mission

"Ideas that stay in your head help no one.
Ship something bold."

MakeBoldSpark is the shared infrastructure and portfolio home for projects by Mark Hazleton — a Technical Solutions Architect with thirty years of experience turning real-world problems into production software.

Every project here is tested under real constraints: real traffic, real data, real infrastructure costs. That's what makes them valuable. Not polished demos, but honest tools.

The makeboldspark.com domain consolidates a growing portfolio of apps that were previously scattered across hosting providers. Make Bold Solutions provides the strategic and technical leadership to keep it all running.
