Summary
Matt Barbour is a hands-on engineering leader with 11+ years scaling developer productivity, CI/CD, and cloud-native test infrastructures for high-traffic consumer platforms. Currently a Sr. QA Manager at PlayStation, he has a record of doubling release cadence, cutting rollbacks by 30%, and enabling partner programs that supported over $2B in revenue. He built parallelized AWS test environments that halved test times and slashed infrastructure costs by 75%, and has driven adoption of contract testing, DORA metrics, and BDD to improve quality and developer velocity. Comfortable leading large, distributed teams and scaling platforms globally, he also has deep embedded and semiconductor test automation roots from earlier roles—an uncommon blend that informs both product-level testing and low-level test engineering. Based in Half Moon Bay, he combines strategic program leadership with frequent hands-on contributions to CI/CD pipelines and platform enablement.
