Summary
Mark Ramm is a veteran technology leader and investigator with 18 years of experience applying open-source engineering and product strategy to complex systems. Currently Lead Investigator at Transparency Cascade Press, he combines rigorous, source-verified investigative journalism with engineering discipline—building an open, forkable timeline database of 3,000+ documented events to make institutional capture and democratic erosion legible. Previously he led engineering and product teams at Canonical, SourceForge, Weaveworks, and Harness, shipping enterprise-grade GitOps, Kubernetes, and orchestration tooling and moving teams from platform to product-led solutions. He’s equally fluent in hands-on architecture and high-level product strategy, with a track record of transforming operations via reproducible, open tooling. Based in Ann Arbor, he brings a philosopher’s training in clear thinking to technical problems, translating complex socio-technical issues into auditable systems for accountability.
