Justin Maat is a Principal Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building full-stack systems, currently shaping platform and infrastructure at PubMatic after helping Martin scale through acquisition. He specializes in end-to-end ownership—designing APIs, building React frontends, authoring backend services in Java/Scala, and modernizing deployments with Kubernetes and distributed systems. Justin has repeatedly joined early engineering teams and driven products from startup phase to global expansion, combining SaaS, real-time systems, and data pipeline experience. He balances hands-on implementation with reliability and deployment workflow improvements, often bridging product-facing features and platform modernization. A former consultant and avid OSS practitioner, he brings practical multilingual fluency (Node, Java, Scala, PL/SQL) and a penchant for crypto and web-focused projects. Based in Columbus, Ohio, he pairs an M.S. in Software Engineering with a track record of shipping robust systems at scale.
