My name is Mark Drake.

I’m a technical writer currently based in Southern California. I was a Technical Writer and Manager of the Developer Education team at DigitalOcean from 2017 until 2022, when I joined Chainguard as a Developer Education Engineer.

If you’d like, please check out my resume .

I’ve written extensively about free and open source software, cloud computing best practices, database management, and software supply chain security. I love learning about complex topics and breaking them down into digestible, clear documentation.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing guitar and bass, rock climbing, exploring niche music genres (as I’m writing this I’ve been into Serbian new wave ), and hanging with my dog, Dottie:

This is my website. It’s a static Hugo site running a modified version of the Coder theme on a DigitalOcean Droplet.
