Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Thomas is a Director of Software Engineering with 17 years building high-performance, distributed systems and healthcare applications that meet rigorous regulatory standards. He blends deep hands-on expertise in Java, Spring Boot, HL7/FHIR, cloud automation (Terraform, AWS/GCP/Azure) and CI/CD with a track record of architecting real-time, fault-tolerant platforms—most notably an FDA-cleared Smart Alarm Interface and a modular real-time healthcare alerting system. He has driven measurable operational improvements (80% faster deployments, 50% AWS cost reduction, 60% reliability gain) while authoring 20+ shared Java libraries used across 60+ production services. His open-source contributions span WebSocket integrations and Spring Boot test improvements, and he has fixed mobile plugin issues in Flutter for cross-platform PDF rendering. Comfortable leading cross-functional teams, he pairs systems-level thinking about distributed compute (Ignite/Hazelcast) and spatial/GIS tooling with pragmatic delivery and security compliance. A former chief architect turned engineering leader, he often surfaces non-obvious optimizations like inter-cloud zone communication strategies to cut latency and costs.
