Matthew Meade

Software Engineering Lead

I enjoy turning product ideas into reliable, scalable software. I take a leading technical role on projects, focusing on collaboration and mentorship to build high-performance systems that solve real problems for users and meet business goals.

My Approach to Engineering

Building for the Long Term 🏗️

I build sustainable and scalable systems by writing clean code and designing thoughtful architecture. This approach empowers teams to ship with confidence, knowing the software is built to last.

Fostering Shared Knowledge 📖

Open collaboration, detailed code reviews, and clear documentation are central to how I work. A shared understanding helps everyone do their best work and improves the skills of the entire team.

Iterating with Purpose 🎯

Shipping well-scoped features, getting feedback, and using data to decide what to build next is my approach to development. This ensures we are building what users actually need.

Maintaining High Technical Quality ✨

I maintain high standards for code quality and system performance through comprehensive testing, monitoring, and proactive issue detection to ensure the systems we build are reliable and robust.

My Skill Set

Cloud & System Architecture ☁️

I specialize in designing and building scalable, serverless systems on AWS. This includes Infrastructure-as-Code (CDK, SAM), creating CI/CD pipelines, and architecting cost-effective, high-performance systems built to handle millions of daily events.

Full-Stack Development 👨‍💻

Frontend: I focus on building high-quality user experiences with modern tools, primarily using TypeScript and React. I enjoy applying modern patterns and techniques to create intuitive and performant interfaces.

Backend: On the backend, I have extensive experience with both monolithic services and microservices, using technologies like Node.js and PHP to build robust APIs and systems.

Databases: I am proficient with both relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, MongoDB) databases. My experience includes schema design and query optimization to ensure efficient data access and performance.

Technical Leadership & Strategy 🧭

I help set the technical direction for projects from initial idea to final release. This involves creating technical roadmaps, mentoring developers, and making sure our work aligns with the larger business goals.
