Summary
Luca Matsumoto is a Senior Software Engineer at LinkedIn with 11 years of experience designing and operating scalable backend systems, configuration management tooling, and cloud-native infrastructure. He began as an intern building a highly parallel metric collection server for Puppet at LinkedIn and progressed to delivering production monitoring and Prometheus/TSDB deployments that handle millions of metrics. Comfortable across Python, Go, Java, Node.js, Kafka, Avro, and container orchestration, he focuses on performance optimization and high-availability architectures. His experience spans startups and enterprise environments—from leading a UCLA dating app backend to migrating microservices to Azure at GE Digital—demonstrating both product sensitivity and systems rigor. He has a proven knack for turning operational pain points into automated, observable solutions (e.g., halving Puppet runtime via targeted log rotation tooling). A UCLA computer science student who founded a nonprofit to bridge the digital divide, he blends technical depth with community-driven initiative.
