Summary
Mark Mennell is a Principal Software Engineer based in Perth with 13+ years of hands-on experience designing, building and operating end-to-end systems for mining, supply chain and industrial IoT. He combines deep full‑stack expertise—from C#, WPF and .NET backends to Python, Kafka, NiFi and cloud-native services—with proven leadership in delivering near real-time telemetry, geospatial visualisation and high-availability platforms at scale. Comfortable in skunkworks and academic-frontier settings, he has repeatedly taken hard problems from prototype to production while mentoring teams and shaping architecture. His career includes senior engineering and technical lead roles at BHP, Fortescue and EY, reflecting a focus on industrial-scale data and operational resilience. A pragmatic builder, he often chooses simpler, fit‑for‑purpose technologies (e.g., moving from WCF to ASP.NET Web API) to accelerate delivery and future-proof integrations.
