Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Widmann is a senior software development engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable full-stack systems, now focusing on AWS platform engineering. He brings deep Ruby on Rails expertise (6+ years) alongside hobbyist Elixir work, and has designed services that handled tens of millions of rows across MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Elasticsearch. His front-end range spans jQuery and Angular 1 to modern React/Redux and React Native, with occasional Swift iOS experiments, enabling him to bridge API and client concerns effectively. A consistent top producer in teams from startups to AWS, he also authors custom gems, Rails Engines, and lightweight Rack/Sinatra apps—showing a knack for pragmatic, reusable tooling beyond typical Rails projects. Matt actively pursues new languages and architectures as a hobby, which keeps his approach both practical and forward-looking.
