Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatt Panaro is a founder and senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building cloud-native and IoT products, from greenfield VOIP administration platforms to garage-door and thermostat prototypes for home automation. He pairs hands-on engineering—working across front-end (Vue, Cypress testing) and back-end systems—with team leadership, mentoring junior developers and streamlining CI/CD and deployment automation to reduce support overhead and speed onboarding. At Cisco he drove UI refactors, advocated pragmatic state management with Vuex, and led a successful shift from Selenium to Cypress with Dockerized test environments; his open-source C contributions to rtl_433 add real-world SDR decoding features and sensor support. Comfortable translating business requirements into technical deliverables, he also brings an aerospace-engineering background and a tendency to favor portable, vendor-agnostic automation to avoid lock-in. Based in Atlanta, he seeks opportunities where entrepreneurial initiative and technical craftship can deliver measurable product and operational improvements.

Mar 2016 - Nov 2017
Program to decode radio transmissions from devices on the ISM bands (and other frequencies)
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:13 commits, 13 PRs, 43 comments in 1 year 8 months
Contributions summary:Matt primarily contributed to the core functionality of the `rtl_433` program by introducing new command-line options. These additions involved modifying the C code to include features for printing timestamps in UTC, setting run durations, specifying sample counts, and specifying the serial number of the SDR device. The user also added support for decoding data from the Oregon Scientific SL109H sensor, implementing the necessary decoding logic. Furthermore, the user made several minor bug fixes and code improvements, such as moving a time-expired message and correcting an edge case in data handling.
