Summary
Matteo Mattei is a Lead Software Engineer with 14+ years of hands-on experience spanning Linux systems, backend development, cloud infrastructure and lab-focused IoT at Elemental Machines. He prefers open source tooling and has repeatedly combined deep sysadmin skills (Linux, networking, mail systems, virtualization, security) with full-stack development (Node.js, PHP, Python, React) to run and scale complex production platforms. Matteo has led teams and built platforms from embedded ARM Linux and payment gateways to lab monitoring and agritech products, often owning both infra and app layers as CTO/technical lead. He contributes to open-source projects — notably improving CodeIgniter’s email attachment handling — and has a long track record automating backups, CDNs, queues and data stores (MySQL, MongoDB, Redis). Based in Camugnano, Italy, he pairs pragmatic engineering with operational discipline, frequently implementing low-level fixes that improve large-scale service reliability. Colleagues rely on him for systems that bridge physical devices and cloud services while keeping security and maintainability front and center.
