Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatt Wright is a user-focused design engineer with 13 years of front-end experience building polished, usable web products from grassroots startups to large platforms. Based in San Francisco, he led Square’s UI Systems team to create a unified design system and now applies that systems-first thinking as a Design Engineer at Persona. His background spans hands-on UI implementation, design leadership, and product-facing roles—translating complex requirements into cohesive component libraries and delightful interactions.

He pairs a BA in Mathematics and Computer Science with a musician’s promotional chops—having managed bands and run a record label—which shows in his practical creativity and user-centric storytelling. Known on GitHub as “The Real Matt Wright,” he brings steady craftsmanship and cross-disciplinary perspective to design-driven engineering.
