Mark Palaima is a Co-Founder at Flouwen AI. He possess expertise in system architecture, scalability, enterprise software, distributed systems, agile methodologies and 39 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I had the honor of working with Mark for many years. Even though he had a very busy schedule, he never failed to answer my many questions. Instead of simply showing me "what" something was, he showed me "why" it was that way. If I had to make a short list of the people who helped me most in my career, Mark would be at the top. He is interested in building things of value. That includes people, not just technology." and "Mark is *the* eBay architect, who envisioned lion share of what the eBay system architecture eventually became. Technical brilliance is expected of eBay architects, and Mark always exhibited it in abundance. But what sets him apart is his unmatched ability to quickly and efficiently make what he envisions a reality, by setting in coordinated motion large teams of people. This requires tremendously developed people skills and fierce tenacity. I learned a lot from Mark and regard him as one of my role models."
