Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Hilton is a Principal Software Engineer based in Melbourne with 11 years of experience building resilient cloud-first systems and high-performing teams. He blends hands-on .NET and Azure expertise with a strong focus on CI/CD, DevOps automation, and scalable architecture—skills honed through roles from consultancy to leading engineering at Octopus Deploy and JB Hi‑Fi. As a coach and technical lead he specialises in enabling autonomous teams, mentoring developers, and embedding practical patterns that improve maintainability and delivery cadence. He has run his own consultancy modernising delivery practices and taught hands-on workshops in testing and deployment, so he’s equally comfortable sketching strategy as he is shipping the code. Colleagues know him for tackling tricky technical problems while keeping customer impact front-of-mind, and for making Black Friday-scale ecommerce challenges look routine.
