Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Barr is a experienced technology leader and Chief Technology Officer with 13 years building high-throughput, scalable data systems and products from the Midwest. As CTO of mySidewalk and previously VoterTide, he designed distributed pipelines, durable message-queue architectures, and storage systems able to answer complex queries over billions of transactions. He blends hands-on engineering across Python, C#, JavaScript, and cloud infrastructure with product-minded features that let non-technical staff modify filtering and classification in real time. Earlier roles in enterprise software and project management honed his skills in build automation, concurrency strategies, and data warehousing. Based in the Kansas City metro, he emphasizes reliability and decision-grade information — pragmatic engineering that reduces downtime and surfaces actionable insights. He’s known for solving hard operational problems (large-scale crawling, cross-language integrations, and live feature rollouts) rather than chasing hype.
