Summary
Matt Mccaffrey is a pragmatic full-stack lead engineer and architect with over 25 years of experience building high-impact, revenue-driving software from MVPs to enterprise systems. He moves comfortably across backend languages (PHP, Node.js, Kotlin, Python) and modern front-end stacks (React, Vue, TypeScript), and pairs that with cloud and IaC expertise to deliver production-ready platforms. Matt has a track record of turning fuzzy requirements into scalable systems—automating creative video compositing and content ingestion pipelines that unlocked new lines of business and materially increased capacity. He’s led teams, mentored engineers, and built tooling that saved substantial time and costs (including a GeoIP service that slashed third-party fees). Based in New York, he blends hands-on implementation with product sensibility and a preference for clean, maintainable design that helps small teams punch above their weight.
