Mark Schiffner Email & Phone Number

Mark Schiffner is a Senior Principal Consultant at MarkLogic. He possess expertise in system architecture, soa, software engineering, enterprise architecture, software development and 29 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Mark is an outstanding engineer and leader, a real pleasure to work with. I first worked with Mark immediately after leaving the Marine Corps; I could not have asked for a better introduction to the civilian workplace. While his engineering skills are outstanding, what makes Mark exceptional is his ability to relate his technical knowledge to system users and program managers in terms they can understand. His ability to break down complex technical matters in a way that a non-programmer could understand was invaluable in explaining the major impact of seemingly minor changes to our customer. Mark's technical acumen is complemented by an intuitive leadership ability that makes him a pillar of any project he works on. In one of the most stressful development environments I have seen, his even temper never wavered and was instrumental in bridging the gap between a demanding, fickle customer and a development team that was desperate for some measure of predictability. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Mark and would eagerly accept an opportunity to work with him again." and "Mark and I shed a lot of blood on many projects together over the years - the kind of blood necessary to get big things done and know someone's true mettle. His commitment to a mission is second to none. He "gets it" and, when he doesn't, you need to be concerned. Being much more of a concept person, I relied on Mark for many years to bring a detailed reality to my missives. He hangs with the big picture with little effort, yet moves best through the details that make a difference. Along with these traits, Mark is a "data guy" - not an RDB guy, mind you (though he knows that too). He spent the first half of his career cutting his teeth building text search and analytic systems. Through many data-complex client engagements, Mark developed an uncanny ability to understand what matters about data and what its consequences are to operational activities and the software which needs to manipulate it. Without a doubt I'd welcome the opportunity to join forces with Mark again."

Listed skills include System Architecture, Soa, Software Engineering, Enterprise Architecture, and 30 others.
