As a Platform Engineer, Matthew builds scalable, resilient systems and works to instill DevOps culture into the teams he embeds with (SLI, SLO, SLA, anyone?!). Previous roles have included DevOps Engineer, Linux Systems Administrator, and Site Reliability Engineer — oh, and professional Classical musician. Originally from Columbus, OH, Matthew holds degrees from The Ohio State University and Carnegie Mellon University. He currently lives in Austin, TX, where he enjoys working with cloud native technologies in the age of AI. Outside of work, you'll find him spending time with his family, training for a marathon, eating a whole-food plant-based diet, and talking or listening to all things Classical music.
