Summary
Mark Perrotta is a Senior Solutions Architect with 13 years of hands-on experience designing and delivering distributed, cloud-native systems across embedded, fintech, election infrastructure, and AI hosting domains. He blends deep engineering craftsmanship—from C and FPGA hobbyist projects to production .NET Core, Clojure, Go, and Python services—with a focus on concurrency, scalability, and maintainability. Regularly operating at the intersection of data engineering (ETL, PySpark, SQL Server tuning, NoSQL) and infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, serverless), he has built real-time APIs for national election pools and order-matching engines for crypto futures. An advocate of functional programming, he is the main developer of the edn-dot-net project and maintains a DeFi Clojure library, reflecting sustained open-source contributions. He also experiments with hosting quantized LLMs (llama-cpp) and brings uncommon breadth by pairing FPGA/VHDL hardware projects—like a MIDI synth—with large-scale cloud architecture. Based in Norwalk, CT, Mark is known for shipping pragmatic, well-instrumented solutions that anticipate concurrency pitfalls before they surface.
