Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Cook is a Senior Software Engineer based in Cardiff with 12+ years crafting web and backend systems and a recent focus on Rust-driven performance and safety. He has led migrations to Rust that delivered measurable performance and reliability gains, built AI-powered features and secure file-sharing backends that substantially increased user engagement, and architected CI/CD and testing pipelines that dramatically reduced regressions. Comfortable spanning frontend to backend, he pairs a fine art background with practical UX collaboration—driving accessibility and multilingual initiatives that unlocked new funding and audience growth. His career includes boosting traffic and conversions across arts and education organisations by translating stakeholder needs into documented, usable tools for non-technical teams. Known for “liking to make things,” he combines craft-driven attention to detail with systems thinking, often taking ownership of end-to-end projects that bridge design, product and engineering.
