Summary
Mark Hobson is a senior software engineer and systems architect with 11 years of professional experience building full-stack, high-scale web and backend systems across ad tech, ecommerce, and marketplaces. He has designed and operated large production infrastructures (including AWS, Greenplum, MongoDB, MySQL, and multi-billion-row tracking systems), led engineering teams, and shipped products from embedded touchscreen firmware and DirectX-based fitness apps to React/PHP marketplaces and marketing platforms. Mark combines deep database and networking expertise with hands-on frontend skills (React, SASS, Swift) and a history of inventing pragmatic solutions—such as a MongoDB-driven dynamic campaign schema that scaled to 500M records on modest hardware. He’s comfortable moving companies from homebrew stacks to modern frameworks and integrating systems with Salesforce/Zoho, and he pairs entrepreneurial instincts (CTO/founder experience) with long-term operational responsibility. An early builder of video-conferencing and novel treadmill interfaces, he blends low-level hardware understanding with cloud-native architecture and product-driven thinking.
