Summary
Matt Schwartz is a pragmatic engineering leader with over a decade of experience building and managing teams that deliver cloud-native SaaS platforms for construction, finance, healthcare, and compliance. Currently a Senior Software Engineering Manager at Trimble, he leads platform engineering teams that build core services in .NET and Go on Azure, and he drove an award-winning data pipeline initiative using Debezium, Kafka, and Databricks to integrate ERP data. He combines hands-on architecture skills—microservices, CQRS, event streaming, and CI/CD—with a track record of elevating engineering culture through mentoring, improved code review practices, and security automation. Matt has repeatedly led migrations and modernizations (AWS and Azure) and scaled teams while hiring and onboarding engineers effectively. Based in Camas, Washington, he pairs an M.S. in Software Engineering with practical experience solving tricky integration and operational challenges at both startups and large enterprises. An often-overlooked strength is his knack for organizing developer rotations and escalation processes that turn frontline customer issues into learning opportunities and product improvements.
