Top SchoolMark Gardner is a pragmatic software engineer with 15+ years of experience building and hardening production systems, now focusing on platform engineering and cloud-native infrastructure from Houston.

Comfortable working across time zones and cross-functional teams, he accelerates feature delivery with pair programming, demo-driven collaboration, and improved observability.
