Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatteo Collina is a seasoned software leader and open source luminary with 19 years of experience, co-founding and serving as CTO of Platformatic to remove friction from backend development. He maintains widely used JavaScript projects—including Pino and Fastify—with his modules downloaded over 12 billion times a year, and sits on the Node.js Technical Steering Committee focusing on streams, diagnostics, and HTTP. Formerly Chief Software Architect and Technical Director at NearForm, he blends hands-on performance engineering (contributions to undici, autocannon, readable-stream and low-level dgram work in Node core) with product and delivery leadership. He holds a Ph.D. on IoT application platforms and has applied that research across CoAP, MQTT and graph database projects, showing a rare mix of academic rigor and production-grade systems design. A prolific conference speaker and book co-author, Matteo pairs deep protocol and performance expertise with a keen sense for developer ergonomics—when not at the keyboard he sails the Sirocco.
