Summary
Mark Montague is a seasoned web services and infrastructure leader with 15+ years at the University of Michigan, currently managing the ITS Web Hosting Team that supports over 25,000 websites and 17 services. He combines hands-on technical expertise in WordPress, Drupal, Kubernetes/OpenShift, CDNs, and enterprise SSO with a track record of modernizing legacy systems, reducing technical debt, and driving large-scale migrations. As a manager of 6–7 staff he has led cross-functional programs—outsourcing hosting tiers, rolling out Cloudflare integrations, upgrading SSL at scale, and moving 800 sites to OpenID Connect—while also authoring custom solutions like a WordPress OIDC plugin. Pragmatic and customer-focused, he pairs strong business insight with an engineer’s attention to reliability and cost-efficiency (his load-testing service cut costs 50% and averted major outages). Based in Ann Arbor, he’s continually learning new technologies and looking for opportunities to simplify complex operations and improve user-facing services.
