My name is Mark Garcia and I am pursuing new opportunities as a senior technology leader for a thriving and agile organization. I recently applied for a position posted by TBN via Indeed for VP of Linux Operations and I also saw that a Director of Operations role available.

My passions lie in being an engineering leader for enterprise infrastructures. Having successfully scaled out incubated projects into world class infrastructures, I wish to continue being challenged as a technical leader, by leading a group of teams focused on bringing value through developing and executing on a technology roadmap. My biggest accomplishments were when I was the director and architect of the infrastructure stack at Farecast (consumer predictive airline ticket pricing search engine) which was acquired by Microsoft. Farecast’s success reached it’s peak when it was released as the travel portal for bing.com/travel.

Through these experiences, I have brought value to other organization’s and am very interested in the VP of Linux Operations and Director of Operations role. Below are highlights of some of the core skills and experience.

I appreciate your time and look forward to meeting with you to discuss potential opportunities at any of The Bidding Network’s clients.

Cheers,
Mark Garcia
