Summary
Mark Saiget is a seasoned full-stack software engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, geospatial, and data-heavy web applications. Currently at AWS, he brings deep expertise in TypeScript/Node.js, Python, React, and AWS services, and has led teams to deliver high-throughput systems like a scheduler for ~20,000 meetings and animated live-weather vector-tile maps. His scientific training in bioengineering and prior role as a research scientist inform a test-driven, hypothesis-first approach to development that emphasizes rigorous testing and poking holes before production. He has a track record of performance improvements—5x front-end speedups and a process change that cut a research timeline from two years to one month—and experience standing up CI/CD, GraphQL APIs, and searchable profile libraries. Comfortable mentoring engineers and migrating legacy workflows to modern toolchains, he blends hands-on coding with team leadership and pragmatic problem solving. Based in Seattle, he thrives on creative technical challenges that require elegant, production-ready solutions.
