Summary
Matt Eichsteadt is an engineering manager based in Portland, Oregon, with over a decade of experience building and shipping web applications across Ruby on Rails, TypeScript, and React/Angular stacks. He progressed from founder and hands-on developer to tech lead and now manager at SimplePractice, combining product-minded leadership with deep technical craftsmanship. His background includes founding two startups and driving measurable business impact—like a $160k profit-driving ML model and deploying point-of-sale systems into retail stores. At Articulate he owned marketing web apps serving 32M+ views/year and led refactors that boosted test coverage and developer velocity. Known for advocating clean code and mentorship, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a founder’s appetite for hard problems and cross-functional collaboration. Collected experiences in analytics, CMS tooling, and email templating show he’s as comfortable optimizing business metrics as he is solving architecture-level challenges.
