Mark Mckelvy is a product leader and former software engineer with 12 years of experience building and scaling web, mobile, and API products for customers ranging from small service businesses to multinational manufacturers. Currently Director of Product at Amper Technologies, he combines hands‑on engineering chops (React, Node.js, Postgres) with a finance background from Claremont McKenna and prior private equity work to link technical decisions to commercial outcomes. At UpKeep he led cross‑functional teams to modernize analytics and public APIs, commercialize industrial IoT, and improve NPS, often shipping MVPs that became repeatable go‑to‑market motions. He favors simple stacks, small API surfaces, and architectures that accelerate learning while remaining production‑ready for scale. Quietly entrepreneurial, he’s shipped a SaaS finance product end‑to‑end and served as the first engineer on multiple new technology initiatives, bridging early engineering grit with product strategy.
