I’m a Software, Data, and Platforms Engineering Director with over 22 years’ experience as director, consultant and software engineer. I’ve primarily worked in Financial Services, Government, and Retail in roles including strategy and architecture, major program delivery, consultancy, digital transformation, and building and operating IT platforms and services.

I have 9 years’ experience working at director level owning development and operations of enterprise application and data platforms. I specialise in simplifying and modernising complex application and data technology landscapes.

I’m a published contributor to the DevOps community through conference speaking, blogs, and open source.

I’m a passionate sponsor of psychologically safe, inclusive, diverse, and healthy work environments.

I like sometimes contributing to Open Source and specialises in adding Vim support to .gitignore files 😉

I like playing with Drums, Guitars, Banjos, Pianos, Harmonicas, Ukuleles and Rubik’s cubes (one at a time).

Mark aka Markos.
