Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Kraus is a Principal Backend Engineer with nine years of hands-on experience building cloud-native, serverless systems and end-to-end products. He leads architecture and backend development—most recently for FeatherSnap—designing scalable AWS infrastructure using TypeScript CDK and deploying resilient, multi-region patterns like DynamoDB global tables and active/active recovery. Comfortable across the full stack, he has delivered web and mobile apps (React, Next.js, React Native) that integrate with hardware and streaming workflows, and he has deep operational experience with API Gateway, Lambda, S3, and media processing. Known for turning ambiguous requirements into practical strategies, he’s grown engineering teams from solo to multi-person shops while keeping delivery and DR trade-offs pragmatic. Based in Billings, MT, he pairs a curiosity-driven mindset with a fondness for DynamoDB and infrastructure-as-code practices that consistently bridge prototype to production.
