Summary
Mark Anderson is a Senior Programmer Analyst with 14 years of focused experience modernizing higher-education systems, leading his institution’s migration from Banner to Workday across HCM, Finance, and Student modules. He is a hands-on integrator and developer, proficient with Workday Studio, Python (pandas), EIBs, RaaS, Git, IDM, Linux, and databases, and often serves as the primary technical lead for complex integrations. Mark’s background blends systems administration and application development with proven leadership—running operations teams, managing redundant site builds for IPO-readiness, and consulting for O'Reilly. Less obvious is his research pedigree: he was the technical lead at Quova, helping create the IP geolocation database that underlies a patented approach to mapping IP addresses. Based in Colorado, he combines institutional knowledge of higher education IT with startup R&D experience to turn ambiguous requirements into reliable, auditable systems.
