Summary
Matt Ghafouri is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building high-throughput, microservice-based systems and trading platform features from his base in the Netherlands. He has led architecture and performance work—migrating monoliths to microservices, implementing distributed locking with Redis/Zookeeper, and tuning systems with Prometheus/Grafana—across fintech and payments domains. As a co-founder at Code Boulevard and a senior engineer at Saxo Bank Nederland and Digitain, he blends hands-on backend development (.NET, SQL/NoSQL, RabbitMQ) with product-minded thinking. Matt is passionate about applying AI to SaaS, continuously learning, and sharing insights to help teams ship resilient, scalable software; an underappreciated strength is his track record of improving offline and batch processing to meet real-time business SLAs.
