Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Barrington is a Platform Engineer based in London with 12 years of experience building and operating large-scale infrastructure across startups and major product teams. He has moved between roles in operations, product engineering, security, and service discovery—most recently shaping platform reliability at incident.io after work on service discovery at Slack and security engineering at Intercom. Comfortable across AWS, Elasticsearch, Envoy, and CI/CD toolchains, he combines hands-on automation (Puppet/Ansible, Packer, CloudFormation) with systems-level thinking to reduce toil and improve observability. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex operational challenges into repeatable platform services and he brings a pragmatic curiosity rooted in early hands-on roles from Amazon intern to ops engineer.
