Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Amidon is a seasoned Full Stack Developer with 15 years of experience designing and delivering software infrastructure across networking, hyperconvergence, embedded systems, and machine control. He blends deep OO and Linux expertise with pragmatic use of Python, Java, C++, and C to build deployment, validation, and REST-to-database services, often driving engineering productivity and test automation. At Arista and HPE SimpliVity he created APIs, Kubernetes-based validation containers, and pre-deployment/upgrade validation frameworks that reduced costly hardware and upgrade failures. His background spans kernel-level deduplication, real-time robot control, and factory-floor automation, reflecting a rare comfort with both low-level systems and high-level service design. Based in Berlin, Massachusetts, he pairs disciplined TDD and code-review practices with advocacy for functional programming patterns to keep large codebases maintainable. Colleagues would note his knack for refactoring sprawling legacy code into clean, object-oriented frameworks that scale across teams.
