Top SchoolMatthew Alexander is a Senior Software Engineer with over 6 years of recent experience and a longer track record of delivering reliable systems across defense, insurance, and data integration domains. He currently builds resilient, production-grade services at Fivetran, after nearly eight years of senior engineering work at Guidewire and earlier hands-on systems and web development roles. Matthew excels at turning focused designs into readable, maintainable code and has experience migrating legacy formats and standing up large-scale networked systems for mission-critical use. Comfortable in open, collaborative environments, he brings practical expertise across backend services, data pipelines, and deployment/testing for high-availability platforms. Based in Castro Valley, CA, he blends enterprise-grade rigor from Defense and Insurance with a pragmatic approach to scalable data engineering. Less obvious: his background includes both low-level mission management tooling and user-facing enrollment systems, giving him a rare full-stack perspective on data flow from ingestion to production.
