Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Mcwhirter is an analytical DevOps leader with eight years’ experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, GCP and Kubernetes. He has led platform teams and managed production Kubernetes fleets, driving migrations to EKS, implementing DR, and achieving 100% CIS compliance for AWS accounts through automated security and patching. Comfortable in both hands-on engineering and stakeholder-facing roles, he has run 24x7 on-call, created automation bots, and led release and incident responses while working closely with Agile squads and ITSM processes. Mark pairs his technical practice with service management roots from roles at O2 and Tesco Mobile, where he managed supplier relationships and continuous service improvement. Outside engineering he runs Meanwood Pizza Co, applying the same process-improvement and automation mindset to a customer-facing small business. He’s equally likely to write Python and Terraform as he is to perfect a sourdough pizza base.
