Summary
Mark Thomas is a seasoned full-stack Software Engineer IV with 12+ years of experience who blends deep structural engineering rigor with modern cloud-native and front-end development. He has driven major productivity gains—automating testing and tooling to speed workflows by 400–500%—and shipped accessible, user-focused interfaces using TypeScript, React, and GraphQL while operating microservices on AWS. His background in structural analysis and teaching at UC Berkeley informs a methodical approach to problem-solving, often translating complex physical models into robust software systems and developer tools. Currently building spatial UI components for Meta Reality Labs, he pairs mobile/AR development with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose alongside React Native experience. Outside work he mentors, volunteers as an adaptive ski instructor, and sustains a steady stream of project-based learning (React/WebGL/Node) that surfaces practical, production-ready experiments. This combination of engineering depth, accessibility advocacy, and hands-on side projects makes him effective at bridging product, platform, and people.
