Top SchoolBenjamin Matthews is a founder and seasoned engineering manager with 11+ years of hands-on software experience and 4 years in formal leadership, skilled at turning legacy systems into modern, cloud-native platforms while aligning technical work with business goals.

He mentors engineers through clear career pathways, hires and scales teams effectively, and brings a measured, regulatory-aware approach to product delivery. Based in South Carolina, he runs a small consultancy (High Iron) and uniquely balances civilian tech leadership with community service as a Chaplain Candidate in the South Carolina Army National Guard.
