Meet the Expert—Mark Fletcher (confessions of an ISS “hitman”)
Mark Fletcher is an HP Industry Standard Server (ISS) systems engineer who
supports hardware platform teams by solving problems that normally occur during
development and test cycles. That’s the answer Mark would give if you asked him
what he does. If you asked Kevin Depew, Mark’s manager, he would say that
“Mark is the key technical resource in solving difficult issues on both in-production
and new development platforms. Mark has the broad knowledge of hardware,
firmware, and software necessary to investigate and determine the root cause of
the toughest problems.”
Whenever a major product issue arises and the debug effort appears difficult,
engineering teams call in Mark Fletcher. Mark has led debug efforts on countless
critical issues over the last several years. He works closely with other engineers
and with HP’s development partners, such as Intel and Broadcom, to resolve the
most complex issues. According to Kevin, “Mark can always be counted on to find
the root cause of any issue because he always pushes for a complete
understanding of the problem rather than
accepting a quick or incomplete work-around. In
addition, Mark applies his knowledge and
experience in dealing with complex issues to assist
the development teams in making wise
architecture decisions for new products. Mark’s
knowledge and expertise are important resources
that allow HP to ship and support its ProLiant
server products.
Mark and his wife Elizabeth have been married for 10 years. His hobbies include
building radio-controlled (RC) model planes, cycling, photography, coffee
roasting, and dog training. Below are excerpts from an interview with Mark.

Technical Paper:
Solving impossible problems in the 21st
century-debug requirements for the future
The way Kevin described your skills, you could be considered an ISS hitman. Do you confess?
Mark: If I told you, I would have to …
Why did you decide to become an engineer?
Mark: Growing up, I was always interested in puzzles and logic problems, so I have always loved the challenge of working
through complicated problems. As a teenager, I started working on cars out of necessity. That led to a profession as an auto
mechanic (ASE certified Master technician-1986), which I did full time throughout most of my college career. Engineering was
something that just seemed to be a natural fit.
What is your favorite project or research?
Mark: For the last several months, I have been driving and defining requirements to processor vendors to add specific debug
capabilities into future platforms. This could give us the capability to do low-level debugs, such as bus trace analysis, to
determine the root causes of difficult issues.
Are you an advocate for customers in the design of HP products?
Mark: Yes, I believe that every server feature we offer can be tied back to customer feedback at one time or another. It is
important that we ask ourselves what benefits the customers will receive for every single step of our development processes.
Ultimately, we should only add features that directly impact customers.
