Marcus Webb

Marcus Webb took apart his first computer at age eleven. It was his older brother's, and his brother was not happy about it. But Marcus had it back together and running faster within two hours, which more or less settled the argument. That curiosity about how things work at a physical and technical level never left him.

He studied Physics at the University of Bristol, graduating in 2014. His undergraduate dissertation examined the thermal behaviour of semiconductor components under variable load conditions, work that required him to move constantly between theoretical physics and very hands-on hardware testing. He completed a Master's in Applied Physics and Electronic Systems at the University of Sheffield in 2016, where his research focused on signal processing efficiency in consumer electronics hardware.

After graduating, Marcus spent five years working as a hardware systems analyst for a technology consultancy based in Bristol, evaluating component performance, running electrical load calculations, and writing technical documentation for engineering and non-engineering audiences alike. He developed a habit during that time of translating dense physics and electronics concepts into plain language because his clients needed answers they could actually act on, not textbook explanations. At Bro Calculator, he writes and reviews all tools in the Physics and Tech categories, applying the same approach: get the formula right, then explain it in a way that makes sense to someone who just needs the answer.
