Mark Miller is Chief Architect of the IDE Tools division at DevExpress.

Mark is well known for both his sense of humor as well as his software development jam sessions. A recent review described one of Mark’s sessions as “spectacular-insightful, fast paced, humorous, and impressive. Mark is one of the few people with the audacity to perform coding improvisations in front of a large audience.”
