Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteve Marks is a Cloud Engineer with 11 years’ experience building and automating infrastructure, tooling and workflows to reduce operational overhead and recover lost revenue. Currently at Periphery after a long tenure at Rackspace, he’s delivered projects from fully automated test labs and single-click device logins to analytics that recovered ~$1.2M and an end-of-life program that added $600K annual revenue. Equally comfortable writing Terraform/Ansible deployments and Python-based reporting, he focuses on process standardisation, workload reduction and clear stakeholder communication across technical and executive levels. A natural mentor and technical lead, he has a track record of turning messy operational problems into repeatable, auditable systems and enjoys sharing practical knowledge through blogging. Based in Leeds, he blends datacenter experience with modern cloud-native practices, often surfacing value through automation rather than big-bang replacements.
