San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKurt Peek is a software engineer in San Francisco with a decade of experience building back-end systems and shipping mobile and web features at companies including Apple, Venmo, Fleetsmith, and Cleo. He brings a rigorous analytical background in mathematics and physics—two MSc degrees—that informs a data-driven approach to performance tuning and anomaly detection. At Venmo he cut an API endpoint’s response time by 40% and has hands-on experience across Tornado/Django backends and Android/iOS apps. His earlier career as a reservoir geophysicist and radar modeling intern shows a knack for extracting signal from noisy data and turning complex models into actionable decisions. Comfortable in both startup and large-company settings, he focuses on reliable, measurable improvements rather than vanity metrics. Colleagues can expect an engineer who blends scientific rigor with practical shipping discipline.
