All About Mark
I am a son, brother, friend, husband, dad, and engineer, all rolled into one.
Since September 2009, I have been a Pricinpal Software Engineer at S2 Security Coporation, creators and purveyors of IP-connected physical security controllers. Prior to that I worked at Jingle Networks on their software platform providing the 1-800-FREE411 telephone service. Before Jingle, I spent over 10 years at at Openwave Systems, Inc., the combination of Phone.com and Software.com, working on carrier-scale e-mail server software. Before joining Software.com I spent a number of years at Digital, before the merger with Compaq. For a complete summary of my experience and skillset, see my LinkedIn profile.
I've been working with computers and in the computer field long enough (more than 20 years) to feel comfortable saying, "I've done it all." That is to say, I've used most everything that's been available to use in that time. (There are others among us who really have used everything, and I'm fortunate to count some of them among my friends and colleagues. For example, check my friend Brons' web page.)
I have a BA/BS in Computer Science from Clark University.
I've lived in Massachusetts all my life and grew up in Newton.
In 1995, my soul mate, Shawn, found me. She and I got married in January 1997. Our first child, Hannah, was born in June 1998. Our second child, Sarah, was born in March 2001.
