Martin Hunt is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with 15 years of experience building products and engineering teams across mobile, web, and game platforms. Based in California, he blends deep systems and low-level programming expertise (C/C++, Python, Java, Node.js) with a strong product sensibility from shipping large-scale front-end experiences and HTML5 game engines. He led development of a high-performance HTML5 runtime and one-click deployment tooling at Game Closure, architected a web game portal and payments/security integrations at Rakuten Games, and has steered platform and product engineering as Verkada’s CTO since 2017. Early work includes building Meebo’s real-time UI used by hundreds of millions, and research on document image dewarping that improved OCR reliability. Comfortable moving between hands-on implementation and strategic architecture, he’s equally at home optimizing runtimes as designing UX and operationally scalable systems. An intriguing constant in his career is translating research-level ideas into practical, developer-friendly tools that accelerate product delivery.
