Mark Hyams
Senior Software Engineer at Orum
Bainbridge Island, Washington, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Hyams is a Senior Software Engineer with seven years of professional engineering experience who bridges full-stack Ruby/Rails and JavaScript/Node.js development with cloud-native deployment on AWS. Based on Bainbridge Island but originally building in Albuquerque, he designs and ships scalable real-time services—most notably River, a drop-in WebSocket service he co-created and deployed with Docker, ECS Fargate and AWS CDK. At Orum he contributes to production systems while drawing on a history of solo full-stack projects (React, Redux, PostgreSQL) that demonstrate pragmatic API and UI design. A lifelong learner with formal training in music and mastery-based software education, he brings the discipline and collaborative instincts of a professional orchestral musician to complex engineering problems. He favors practical trade-offs—choosing Node for connection scalability and containerization to eliminate “works on my machine”—and writes clear technical case studies to explain architectural decisions.
