Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKurt Stutsman is a senior software engineer with over a decade of experience building systems-level software, firmware, and developer tooling across finance, security, and storage domains. He combines low-level expertise—kernel maintenance, ARM/Intel firmware, and embedded SPI/flash performance tuning—with higher-level work on web UIs, CI/CD, and cloud-native tooling. At firms from Red Hat and Data Domain to trading shops and startups, he has repeatedly improved reliability and testability, introduced continuous integration for firmware, and created diagnostics that turned hard-to-debug crashes into actionable fixes. Comfortable in C, Python, Ruby, and modern JavaScript/React stacks, he also has deep experience with Docker, build systems, and cross-compilation. Based in Aurora, Illinois, Kurt is known for quickly assimilating new technologies and being the go-to troubleshooter for thorny system and recovery problems.
