Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Culhane is a seasoned technology leader and Managing Director based in Melbourne with over a decade of experience designing and operating resilient, compliance-driven IT services across startups and large scale registry environments. He combines hands-on systems and software skills (Java/Clojure/Scala/Python, AWS, Docker, Puppet, MySQL/Oracle RAC) with deep expertise in information security, ITSM and DevSecOps, having led ISO 27001 implementations and high-compliance operations (ACSC ISM, PCI DSS).

He is particularly effective at turning operational pain points into automated, auditable processes and new revenue streams, having created consulting services from incident response work. With a Master of IT from Monash and a commerce background, he blends technical rigor with commercial sensibility and a preference for pragmatic, measurable outcomes.
