Bio
Henry Huan
I have a deep gratitude for the direction and openness Mark gave me to navigate the torrent of information in this field; I consider him a mentor and a catalyst in pursuing a software engineering career. I did not come from a technology background and, despite this, Mark was remarkably open and extremely generous with his time in explaining technologies and introducing me to fast paced culture of tech. He lead many talks that demonstrated the efficacy of utilizing the latest technologies and provided a space among the non-tech employees to develop their understanding. He was instrumental in exposing me to programming languages that fundamentally changed our QA team (which were primarily manual testers) into an automation focused entity and fostered cross team collaboration with the Software Engineering teams. Mark truly embodies the ethos of the modern age of technology with his enthusiastic, open minded approach to technology and would be a major boon to any team that venerates collaboration and innovation.

Mark Sun takes the word "agile" to a new level. It not only describes a methodology Mark is highly skilled in, but the way his brain works. I've seen him grow and adapt as our company changed programming languages and methodologies. He went from student to teacher to mentor quickly, inspiring confidence in the other members of our team. Mark taught me project management methods that I use every day. I have been a technical writer for 16 years, so when I say I am impressed with the way Mark communicates, I know what I'm talking about. The way Mark easily broke down technical concepts for me so that I could explain them to our users was amazing. It's rare to see a developer with such powerful communication skills. Whether it's documenting his code or giving a presentation to clients and staff, Mark shines. Please feel free to contact me if you need more information about Mark Sun. Thank you!
