Summary
Matej Serbec is a technical founder and CTO with nine years of experience building high-scale fintech, trading and consumer platforms from Zagreb, Croatia. He co-founded and built engineering teams and architectures that scaled to millions of users—most notably growing Sportening’s tech org to 30+ engineers and 500k+ users using Elixir, Kafka and Kubernetes. Today he leads TradeLocker and MochaLabs, focusing on next‑gen day‑trading infrastructure and fintech products that blend low‑latency backend design with production-grade DevOps. Past roles include leading blockchain and data marketplace efforts (Novo Protocol) and early engineering internships at Microsoft, Apple and Ericsson, reflecting a mix of enterprise and startup chops. Matej pairs hands‑on systems design with recruiting and people leadership, and is comfortable owning everything from Terraform‑defined infra to smart contracts and observability. He tends to favor resilient, event‑driven architectures and pragmatic automation over flashy tech, which helps turn prototypes into reliable production services.
