Mark Cornick

Hi, I'm Mark.

I'm a DevOps engineer specializing in Kubernetes, AWS, and Jenkins at a company I won't name here because I'm not speaking for the company. (It's not a secret; feel free to ask.)

I am a classically trained percussionist, but once I left music school, I never did music professionally. I did play drums in a few small bands and in the supporters' sections of soccer games for many years. I was a college radio DJ (at WXJM and WTJU), and have done shows on aNONradio and tilderadio.

I'm an amateur (ham) radio operator, call sign KQ4MII. You can find more about that on

my QRZ.com page

For fun, I write Go and Python, and a little bit of Rust. I used to write a lot of Ruby and Rails, but haven't done that in a while. You can find my code at

my Sourcehut site

I live in Reston, Virginia, about half an hour west of Washington, DC. My time zone is US/Eastern. My native language is English, and I can read and write French and a bit of Spanish. I am male and use he/him pronouns. My last name is Cornick, not McCormick; I am unrelated to any McCormicks. My username is pronounced "em-cornick."

I am no longer on the X formerly known as Twitter (because it's a toxic waste dump) and I'm not on LinkedIn (because I don't want to be chum for recruiter sharks.) Instead, I post on Mastodon. I also post much less frequently on Pixelfed, Peertube or Lemmy.

Please don't contact me about job opportunities or to sell me anything. If I'm interested, I'll find you. If you do contact me and say something like "I was reviewing your web site", I'll know you're not to be trusted.
