Summary
Kurt Rudolph is a Principal Software Engineer based in Portland, Oregon with 14 years of experience building resilient, data-intensive systems for finance, energy, and public-sector transparency. He has led full-stack and platform work—architecting scalable Node.js/React applications, Kubernetes deployments, and CI/CD pipelines across AWS/GCP/Azure—while driving security and compliance practices (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA) into workflows. At SmartProcure he designed the search and ingestion pipelines for government spending data, integrating MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and LLMs to surface richer insights from messy datasets. His background at Eris and LO3 combines low-latency market-facing systems and token-driven energy data architectures, reflecting a knack for event-driven, idempotent designs. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic automation, observability, and incident response, and he quietly balances hands-on coding with mentoring and cross-functional collaboration. Known for turning complex data flows into auditable, production-ready services, he also consults independently, bringing startup agility to enterprise problems.
