Matt Dziuban is a hands-on engineering leader with 13 years of experience, currently serving as Director of Backend Engineering in Boston and specializing in Scala-based backend systems. He progressed from senior engineer to director at BondLink, driving core features, building a Scala email service from scratch, and guiding teams through product maturation and early sales support. A pragmatic polyglot, he has improved performance at scale (including a 35% API response reduction at Localytics) and automated CI/CD and deployment pipelines. Matt is an active open-source contributor to notable Scala projects such as http4s and scalaxb, where he implemented robust GZIP handling and refined XML data binding—work that surfaces in production-grade middleware and parser improvements. His background spans web stacks from Rails and Play to Chrome extensions and language tooling (Unison), reflecting a curiosity for both systems and developer tooling. Fluent in Arabic studies and economics, he brings interdisciplinary thinking to technical problem-solving and cross-functional leadership.

Contributions summary:Matt contributed to the `scalaxb` project, which is an XML data binding tool for Scala. Their primary contributions focused on enhancing the tool's functionality, as evidenced by commits that updated enum implementations using sealed traits and added a configuration option for enum name lengths. They also updated project dependencies, including Scala versions, and library versions for `scala-xml` and `scala-parser-combinators`, which are key components for XML processing.

Contributions summary:Matt focused on enhancing the `http4s/http4s` library, particularly the GZip middleware. Their primary contributions involved refining the GZip implementation by calculating CRC32 and input length for the trailer. These changes include on-the-fly calculations and updates to address empty response body scenarios, alongside the addition of property-based tests to ensure proper GZIP encoding. Furthermore, they modified the cookie parser to handle various spacing scenarios.
