Mark Stokan is a seasoned Software Engineer and cloud operations specialist with over a decade of hands-on experience building and running resilient, cloud-native platforms. He has driven DevOps and SRE practices across startups and enterprise teams—spanning AWS, VMware, and bare-metal colo migrations—at companies including VMware, Broadcom, Pivotal, and multiple high-growth game and SaaS shops. Comfortable from deep systems work (kernel tuning, SAN/NAS, VMware ESXi) to modern CI/CD, orchestration, and monitoring stacks, he frequently bridges development and operations to accelerate reliable releases. Based in Walnut Creek, CA, Mark pairs pragmatic automation (Python, Puppet, Fabric, cobbler/kickstart) with a strong history of migrating and modernizing infrastructure. Notably, he’s navigated full data center migrations and complex hybrid environments, giving him a rare mix of legacy systems expertise and cloud-first operational rigor.
