Mark Platte Born in January, 1984.I currently work as an IT architect in a hospital environment, with a career shaped by hands-on experience in application development, storage engineering, and infrastructure design. My roots are in software, but over time I moved deeper into system architecture, working closely with storage platforms, virtualization, and security especially in regulated and research-intensive environments. I have a strong focus on building stable, secure, and manageable IT solutions, particularly in complex environments where clinical systems, research data, and compliance requirements intersect. I’m especially experienced in enterprise storage design, backup strategies, and performance tuning, often acting as the bridge between engineering teams and long-term architectural planning. I enjoy solving difficult problems and still believe most issues in IT can be fixed with enough determination, focus, and sometimes budget. It’s that drive to find solutions that keeps me motivated.
