Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Fulton is a seasoned software leader and founder with 12 years of experience building scalable systems across startups and major tech companies. He’s shipped production ML and trust-and-safety infrastructure at Google and Meta, led product and engineering as CTO/founder through an acquisition, and most recently built LLM-driven summarization and large-scale clustering for an AI news aggregator. Comfortable across the full stack, he has a track record of reducing latency and manual review effort at scale and designing systems that process thousands of QPS. Based in San Francisco, he blends hands-on engineering, product instincts from early-stage customer discovery, and operational leadership—often as a one-person consultancy—while pursuing roles that let him collaborate with top-tier engineers on large, cross-functional projects. An uncommon detail: he pairs formal training in journalism and computer science with finance and entrepreneurship roots, informing both technical design and narrative-driven product decisions.
