Seth Hamilton is a seasoned founder and software engineer with over two decades of experience building analytics, monitoring, and behavioral-data platforms from the ground up. He founded multiple ventures that evolved from graphical BBS software into web analytics and network monitoring—two products from his family of companies were acquired by Microsoft and SolarWinds. More recently he led backend and data efforts at SurveyMonkey and Shopify and created OpenSet, an open-source behavioral analysis project born from in-memory database research. Hands-on in C++ and modern standards, his open-source contributions include performance-minded enhancements to a popular cross-platform Simple-Web-Server library. Based in Ottawa, he now combines shop-floor craft as Handler of Wood with ongoing technical leadership, reflecting a rare blend of entrepreneurial engineering and practical maker instincts.
A very simple, fast, multithreaded, platform independent HTTP and HTTPS server and client library implemented using C++11 and Boost.Asio. Created to be an easy way to make REST resources available from C++ applications.
