Summary
Matt Rathbun is a seasoned software engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building and scaling backend systems, currently driving mobile C++ integrations at Salesforce that feed native iOS and Android apps. He combines deep performance troubleshooting, profiling, and API design experience with practical knowledge of diverse stacks—LAMP, MongoDB, Symfony, and Djinni—to deliver reliable data pipelines across complex Salesforce org configurations. Matt has a track record of architecting scalable features and optimizing bottlenecks in high-throughput systems, including email pipelines and background job orchestration. As a co-founder of a consumer-facing service, he also managed full-stack architecture, identity services, and deployment on constrained infrastructure, showing an entrepreneurial streak. Colleagues rely on him for clear design docs and triage across multi-layered systems; less obvious is his habit of leveraging lightweight sqlite-based profiling harnesses to validate performance against production-like datasets. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a strong focus on maintainability and operational debugging.
