Top SchoolMark Kohler is a Staff Software Engineer with 17 years of experience designing and shipping embedded Linux systems, systems software, and cross-platform Python applications from Mountain View. He excels at low-level C and Python development for embedded devices, TCP/IP protocol implementation, and creating user-focused GUIs and tooling that reduce support overhead. At Packeteer he implemented IPv6 transition mechanisms, invented techniques to prevent in-kernel routing loops, and built a version-controlled embedded build system that slashed build times and improved GPL compliance. As VP of Engineering at Apposite he delivered a combined Windows and embedded solution for reproducing network conditions, and he has continued that blend of hardware-aware and application-level engineering at ProteinSimple.
