Summary
Mark Carpenter is a Full Stack Engineer with 13 years of experience building Windows desktop clients, scalable web applications, APIs, and automated deployment pipelines for on-premises and Azure environments. He specializes in the Microsoft stack—C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, WPF—and complements that with SQL Server, Elasticsearch, Docker/Kubernetes, and CI/CD tools like AppVeyor and Octopus. His career spans long tenures at OverDrive and RoviSys and he currently delivers production systems at Gala, demonstrating an ability to evolve legacy desktop solutions into cloud-ready services. Known for pragmatic testing practices (NUnit/XUnit) and operational focus (IIS, Azure), he bridges development and deployment to reduce friction in release cycles. Based in Brook Park, Ohio, he pairs solid formal training (B.S. Computer Science, John Carroll University) with a hands-on, infrastructure-minded approach that often surfaces in automating repetitive operations. A detail that often goes unnoticed: he has deep experience translating desktop-centric architectures into scalable web and containerized platforms.
