Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Caton is a Principal Cloud Architect and former physicist with 25+ years of engineering experience and 11 years focused on cloud and enterprise systems delivery. He has led full-stack development, cloud migrations to AWS, InfoSec and ISO27001 programs, and co-founded the AI team at ContactEngine, helping scale the company from startup to acquisition. Comfortable as a polyglot developer (.NET, Node.js, Python) and technical leader, he builds platforms that let specialists plug AI into production—currently driving LLMOps and GenAI integration. His background spans high‑pressure finance teams to product-driven SaaS, and he combines rigorous analytical thinking with pragmatic delivery and mentoring. A less obvious strength is his HPC research roots, which inform efficient, cost‑conscious architectures and a knack for squeezing performance from commodity infrastructure.
