I'm a web, database, and network architect based in NYC, with specializations in the financial services, publishing, and SaaS sectors.
I build complex Marketo integrations for companies large and small... and can make Marketo forms and emails do things you never thought possible!
Check out my blog at https://blog.teknkl.com, which has Marketo-specific technical insights you won't see anywhere else, along with wider topics from my programming and systems work.

@Kevin_Tuttle1 wouldn’t advise using contains() directly on the String value because it can lead to unexpected results when subvalues have text in common. Rather, use a proper split() on the string, then use contains() on the resulting Array. Velocity coerces the Array into a List so it has all the ...

Know what you don’t want every recipient seeing if they click your CTA? A completely blank screen with the URL stuck on the tracking link: And you don’t want them seeing this (non-bypassable) security warning if they check their F12 Console, either: How did we get here?

When you think about images and page load time, you typically think about large images — that is, “large” in terms of bytes, not necessarily dimensions — especially over mobile connections. Developers don’t think much about total image load failures from a performance standpoint, assuming an image t...

Yeah, it‘s a problem that never seems to go away. Business often doesn’t want to hear/learn about datatypes, but they‘ll be the first to feel the hurt if developers make a bad guess. Developers can be reckless in their own right: I’ve had dev teams request they be able to create a new field on the f...
