Top SchoolMark Hatton is a London-based software engineer and engineering manager with 12 years of experience building scalable server-side systems and leading teams at high-profile companies like WhatsApp and Shazam. He brings deep expertise in Scala, Java, Linux, and systems architecture, having transitioned from C++/embedded work at the BBC and YouView into distributed backend platforms.
