Mark co-Founded Seeq after 7.5 years at Insitu where he was Director of Systems Development, managing hardware and software engineering for Insitu’s two major aircraft platforms: the ScanEagle and the Integrator. Prior to Insitu, Mark spent 5 years at Microsoft.
Mark attended the University of Waterloo for Systems Design Engineering, during
which he spent internships at various startups. Upon graduation he joined Microsoft and the nascent Windows XP team where he co-designed and implemented the application compatibility modes that were introduced with that operating system.
He then moved to the Xbox team and worked on animation and artificial intelligence for NHL Rivals 2004, Microsoft’s first and last foray into console hockey games.
Following his passion for windsurfing, Mark moved to Hood River, Oregon in 2005 and joined a startup called Insitu, Inc. in the new unmanned air vehicle space. Insitu grew from 40 employees to 800 and Mark became Director of Systems Development, managing hardware and software engineering for Insitu’s two major aircraft platforms, the ScanEagle and the Integrator.
In 2011, he packed up for California in order to pursue a Masters in Business Administration at UC Berkeley.
Mark and his wife Tifani now live in Oakland, CA with their temperamental Chihuahua, Brooklyn. They are enjoying all of the indoor and outdoor activities that the Bay Area has to offer.
Like many who have lived in Hood River, Mark enjoys kiteboarding and snowboarding. Since moving to the Bay Area, Mark studies and periodically performs award-winning improvisational comedy.
