Summary
Mark Peng is a full-stack software engineer based in Millbrae, CA with a decade of professional experience and six years focused on Java/J2EE web and client/server systems. He designs and operates large-scale, Kafka-driven real-time data pipelines and middleware, pairing that backend expertise with practical caching and async strategies using Redis, Memcache, and Azure Cosmos DB to cut latency. Comfortable across databases from MySQL and PostgreSQL to MongoDB and Elasticsearch, he builds robust services with Spring, Hibernate, JAX-RS and deploys them via Docker, Jenkins, AWS ECS and Azure. He also contributes to frontend work using Vue and AngularJS and has an unexpected side competency: authoring iOS games in Godot, which reflects a knack for performant, cross-domain engineering. At Walmart and prior employers he’s driven feature delivery end-to-end, improved code quality with unit testing and SonarQube, and administered Kafka clusters and tooling to ensure reliability. Mark blends solid distributed-systems chops with practical product-focused delivery, making him effective at turning complex requirements into scalable, testable solutions.
