Ivan Mathy is an engineering manager and multidisciplinary interactive designer-developer with 11 years of experience building product teams and shipping complex cross-platform software from ideation to customer deployment. He balances hands-on engineering—contributing full-stack work like the Boop scriptable scratchpad and native mobile frameworks—with strategic leadership, having led large cross-functional teams through cloud migrations, Terraform-managed deployments, and rigorous testing and accessibility initiatives. Comfortable bridging design, hardware hacking, and software, he has a track record of rapid prototyping to validate concepts before refining production-quality details. At Uptake he drove architecture, CI/CD, and internationalization efforts while maintaining strong team morale and developer practices; he now leads engineering on unannounced projects at IBM. Outside work he channels his curiosity into interactive installations and unusual tech experiments—an inclination that informs creative, pragmatic solutions.
