Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Lewis is a software engineer and consultant with 10 years’ experience building backend systems, real‑time communication, and scalable video platforms from pre-seed startups to larger acquired teams. He currently runs Too Many Mallards, bootstrapping startups while also serving as Backend Architect at WasteNot to eliminate wasted ad spend via real‑time suppression strategies. Previously he architected core video and real‑time features at Grain and sped up large-scale attribution pipelines (8x) at C3 Metrics, demonstrating a knack for performance and data-driven solutions. Comfortable across Go, Elixir, PHP and messaging systems, he blends deep systems thinking with pragmatic product focus. Based in New York, he’s equally at home shipping production services or rolling up his sleeves for early-stage technical architecture. Despite the receding hairline joke on GitHub, he’s known for quietly turning complex realtime and video problems into reliable, scalable services.
