Hi, I’m Mark. You can use any pronouns to refer to me; most people use he/him, but I don’t really care as long as you don’t call me “Marky Mark.” My last name is Cornick, not McCormick; I am unrelated to any McCormicks.
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’m an amateur (ham) radio operator (N3MSC), a musician, a Unitarian Universalist, a naturist, and queer. I find community and growth in all of these things. If you and I share these or other interests, that’s great! Let’s chat. If you find community and growth elsewhere, that’s also great! Everyone needs to enjoy things, so please enjoy what you do.
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 no longer on nearly all social media, because they’re toxic waste dumps or in danger of turning toxic. But I am on
