Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatt Terski is a Principal Software Engineer with 10+ years building resilient payments and monetization systems for companies from startups to global platforms. He’s known for hands-on leadership that combines distributed systems design, event-driven architectures, and double-entry accounting to solve high-stakes production problems—most notably cutting a critical eBay payout job from 10 hours to under 10 minutes and enabling international seller payouts. At Shopify and Skillshare he shaped cross-team engineering strategy, shipped high-throughput money-movement pipelines, and expanded payment rails into new markets (UPI, SEPA, Google/Apple Pay). A former CTO and early IBM engineer, he pairs entrepreneurial product sensibility with large-scale systems rigor and a preference for influence through mentorship rather than mandates. Based in the Greater Phoenix Area, he thrives on turning brittle payment platforms into reliable infrastructure that unlocks business expansion.
