About Me

Welcome to my corner of the web! I’m Mark Beacom, hailing from the scenic landscapes of Northeastern Ohio.

My world revolves around my excellent partner, our two adventurous sons, and Meeko, our spirited Siberian Husky. We’re an outdoor-loving crew, often found camping, hiking, foraging, or simply enjoying nature walks.

Our passion for the great outdoors extends to life on the road in our beloved RV, exploring new terrains and making memories. My wife and I share a deep interest in horticulture in our tranquil home (including cultivating vegetables indoors and delving into the fascinating world of mycology).

Professionally, my journey has been diverse and enriching. I’ve embraced various roles, from being a software and platform engineer to a consultant, technical leader, and architect. With organizations ranging from start ups to Fortune 500 companies, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of technologies and teams.

I’m working to drive transformative change throughout the platform at Wowza as the Senior Director of Architecture and infrastructure. This career trajectory was made possible, in part, by my early experiences in the US Army and, later, an academic pursuit of an MBA – all backed by the unwavering support and motivation from my family.

I’m always eager to connect and exchange ideas about technology, gardening, or cloud strategies. Feel free to reach out for a chat!
