Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Vagni is a designer-turned-engineer and co-founder with 11 years of experience building product-led B2B SaaS and consumer-facing systems across startups and high-growth companies. As Co-founder & CPO at Plain (previously CTO), he blends product design sensibility with hands-on engineering—especially around React and design systems—to ship cohesive, scalable UIs and developer tooling. His background spans leading design at Lyst through developer-facing infrastructure work at Deliveroo and technical product at Echo, giving him rare fluency across design, frontend architecture, and operational systems. Based in Bavaria, he pairs pragmatic startup leadership with deep craft in design systems, and still courts the occasional printer-related nightmare from his Echo days.
