Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Baker is a veteran developer, architect, and entrepreneur with over two decades of experience applying Web technologies to Internet- and Intranet-scale problems, and one of the earliest public advocates for REST over SOAP starting in 2002. He has led technical teams and startups (including a successful exit with Rove Mobile) and has architected large-scale linked data, graph integration, and mobile/web systems for clients like WHO, Eli Lilly, and the Library of Congress. Recently focused on advisory and expert-witness work while exploring LLM and AI opportunities, he combines hands-on engineering with principled architectural analysis and standards strategy. His background spans wireless protocols to bibliographic linked data at scale—managing hundreds of terabytes of published catalog data used by Google—and he is comfortable translating deep technical detail into legal and strategic guidance. Based in Ottawa, he’s effectively retired but remains available for select consulting, advisory, and affidavit engagements that leverage his history of shaping web architecture and standards.
