Matt Patterson is a pragmatic software engineer with 13 years’ experience building and maintaining production web and mobile systems across startups and scale-ups in Australia. Currently at Canva, he previously led cross-functional delivery at Envato—shipping PayPal integrations, multilingual support, and CI/DevOps improvements while handling security and stakeholder coordination. Comfortable across Ruby/Rails, React Native, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform, Fargate) and scripting, he pairs hands-on implementation with platform stewardship and developer enablement. He’s delivered bespoke data pipelines, Cloudflare Workers and migration projects that reduced operational drift, and has a track record of lifting team velocity through tooling and pipeline work. Outside of code he’s a devoted live-music fan and heavy coffee drinker—traits that hint at an engineer who values craft, culture and late-night problem solving.
