Raymond Marker — Builder

Track Record

Same pattern, different fields.

Spot an unmet need. Teach myself what's required. Ship a working result. The industry changes every time — the approach doesn't.

Endeavor Plus

Director — Endeavor Schools

$1M+ / yr

Built and scaled a self-funded internal enrichment program across 61 school locations — 75% profit margin, 97% staff retention, zero outside investment.

Verdict VR

Founder — formerly See Change Services

First of its kind

Built TourVR, a 360° virtual reality evidence system for courtroom trials — as far as I know, the first time VR evidence was effectively admitted in a U.S. jury trial. Clients include BNSF Railroad.

Kids Learning Tech

Founder — formerly HiTech FitKids

$0 → $300K+

Bootstrapped from under $1,000 in starting capital to $300K+ in annual revenue across 30+ schools, growing to a 30-person team — no outside funding.

NutriGrok

Independent project

Live product

A nutrition-tracking app for keto/carnivore diets — describe a meal in plain language, AI logs the calories and macros. Self-built, self-taught. nutrigrok-one.vercel.app

Right Now

Applying the same pattern to AI.

I'm currently exploring how the same approach — find the gap, learn what's needed, ship the working version — applies to AI-driven tools and optimization for other businesses.

That's not theoretical. I run my own infrastructure: a self-built 96TB home server, a self-hosted Nextcloud instance migrated off commercial cloud storage, and local language models deployed on hardware I set up myself. That same foundation is what let me design and ship NutriGrok — and it's the base I'm building from now.

Get In Touch

Have something worth building?

If it's a problem nobody's solved cleanly yet, that's usually the interesting part.
