About
Hi, I’m Matthew Wood, a Senior Software Engineer with 10 years of experience delivering practical, resilient systems across startups, SaaS, fintech, and enterprise environments. I’ve contributed as a founding engineer shaping platform architecture and product roadmaps, while staying hands-on across frontend, backend, and data pipelines. I’m passionate about building scalable, observable systems and mentoring teams to ship high-quality software that customers love.
I specialize in React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and distributed systems, and I enjoy transforming complex problems into maintainable, end-to-end solutions. Outside of code, I collaborate closely with product and design to drive impact, run experiments, and optimize performance and reliability at scale.
