Curt Mayer
Geek at Vixen Creations, Inc
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
Curt Mayer is a seasoned systems-level engineer and infrastructure generalist with decades of experience building high-performance storage, Unix kernels, networking, and scalable database systems. Currently at AppDynamics and running web operations for Vixen Creations, he combines deep kernel- and toolchain-level expertise (C, boot ROMs, device drivers) with practical web and scripting skills (Perl, PHP, HTML/JS). He has led technical teams as CTO of a 30-person consultancy and earlier delivered record-setting storage subsystems at Oracle and large-scale database work for enterprise clients. Comfortable across Solaris, Linux, BSD and low-level networking (VPN, DNS, NFS), he gravitates toward plumbing systems all the way to the metal rather than surface-level stacks. Based in San Francisco, he eschews defense work on ethical grounds and brings a hacker’s curiosity rooted in early platforms like Z80/CP/M and classic Unix.
