Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Ogden is a Senior Software Engineer with 12 years of experience who transitioned from embedded electronics to full-stack and machine-learning-focused roles, bringing a deep appreciation for efficient, well-structured code. He has led teams and delivered resilient microservices for financial and enterprise customers using Java/Spring Boot, TypeScript/React, Kafka, and cloud-native tooling, while emphasizing safety and third-party integration reliability.
