Top SchoolMark Watts is a Senior Software Engineer and technical architect with 13 years of experience building web, desktop and cloud solutions primarily on the Microsoft stack. He is fluent in C# and F#, and has driven end-to-end delivery from requirements and architecture through to deployment, specialising in ASP.NET, WebAPI, WPF, MS SQL Server and service-oriented architectures. Mark has held progressive technical leadership roles—most recently as Lead Software Engineer and Cloud Solution Architect—where he introduced new technologies, automated builds and guided product transitions to SaaS.
