Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Paras is a Senior Software Engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 7 years of experience and a current role at LinkedIn. He writes languages and tooling that make life easier for product users and fellow developers, routinely working in Rust, C#, Python, Go, and React. Driven by an interest in programming languages, compilers, and contracts, he maintains an embedded Scheme interpreter in Rust (steel), where he implemented conditionals, lambda syntax, core list functions, refactored environments, added a garbage collector and started macro support. Prior roles at The Trade Desk and Wayfair pair with an MS in Computer Science and a BS in Industrial Engineering from Northwestern, giving him both systems depth and an optimization mindset. Matthew enjoys learning new languages to find the best fit for each problem and often translates language-research ideas into practical developer tools.
