Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Franklin is a Senior Security Architect with 11 years of experience turning complex technical requirements into closed deals and repeatable architectures across security and developer-focused products. He combines hands-on engineering roots—from building backend APIs and QA automation—to recent roles driving API and chaos engineering security at companies like Traceable, MongoDB, and Gremlin. Known for listening to customers, challenging assumptions, and removing implementation bottlenecks, he consistently accelerates sales cycles while delivering pragmatic, production-ready prototypes and demos. Mark has a track record of leading cross-functional architecture sessions and teaching practitioners through bootcamps and sample projects that translate concepts into measurable outcomes. Based in the United States, he brings a rare blend of deep implementation experience (distributed tracing, testing frameworks, backend APIs) and commercial savvy as a technical deal closer. He often surfaces non-obvious risks early by combining engineering empathy with threat-focused architecture, helping stakeholders see value beyond feature lists.
