Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S7 Bonus: John Rush, Mars X

John Rush has been in tech since he was a child, so its hard for him to think of a time where it wasn't a part of his life. Since 2008, he has been building apps, websites, etc. and a lot of what he was doing was client work. During this time, he noticed that a lot of his tasks were similar, repetitive, and he wanted to find ways to get repeat use out of the work he was doing. Outside of tech, he plays soccer on a semi-professional team, and is a huge part of his life. He also likes the outdoors, and even plays a little ping pong.

While running his prior startup, John wanted to figure out a way to create a system that allowed him to get reuse out of the work he was building. What he ended up building was an ecosystem, for solution builders and developers, to merge the worlds of low code and no code.

This is the creation story of Mars X.
