Kurt Overmier - Full-Stack Architect
Available for hire

Kurt Overmier

Full-stack architect with 20+ years in enterprise operations. I started as a vibe coder and evolved into someone who understands both sides of the stackβ€”and why that matters when you're on-call at 3 AM.

πŸ“ Based globally (thanks to edge computing)

πŸš€ From Enterprise Operations to Edge Computing Pioneer

20+ years of enterprise operations experience taught me something crucial: the gap between what operations needs and what developers build is where projects fail. I started as a "vibe coder"β€”learning by building, breaking things, and figuring out how to make them work at scale.

Today, I'm a full-stack architect who understands both sides of the equation. I've lived through the pain of maintaining legacy systems, the complexity of enterprise deployments, and the reality of production incidents at 3 AM. This operational foundation shaped how I build: with reliability, performance, and maintainability baked in from day one.

Now I focus on edge computing and AI integrationβ€”building applications that run at 300+ global locations with sub-50ms response times. While others debate the merits of Docker vs. Kubernetes, I'm deploying serverless architectures that scale infinitely, cost pennies, and never wake anyone up at 3 AM.

I don't just build websites. I build experiences that make users forget they're using the internetβ€”and systems that make operations teams forget they're on-call.

🎯 The Philosophy

"If your application isn't running at 300+ locations worldwide with sub-50ms response times, you're not building for the modern web - you're building for 2019."

🌍 Global by Default

Why build for one region when you can build for the world? Edge-first architecture means global scale from day one.

⚑ Performance is Everything

Every millisecond matters. If it's not fast enough to make users smile, it's not fast enough.

πŸ€– AI-Native Development

AI isn't the future - it's the present. Every application should be intelligent by default.

πŸ’š Sustainable Computing

Building the future shouldn't destroy the planet. Efficient edge computing with 95% renewable energy.
