Matthew Berger is a Senior Staff Software Engineer and founding engineer with 11 years of experience who has specialized in Rust since 2016 and built production-grade robotics and distributed control systems. At Hyphen he led a PLC-to-Rust architectural pivot, delivered a full product stack from bare-metal RP2040 firmware to cloud infrastructure in under two years, and helped secure $10M+ in investment by proving scalability in production. He designed a high-throughput async message broker (1M+ msgs/sec, <1ms latency, zero loss over years) and a deterministic layered configuration system that enabled unlimited fleet scaling. Matthew founded the Nightshade Game Engine and publishes several open-source Rust crates that extend language ergonomics for robotics. He’s experienced in mentoring engineers through hands-on pair programming and transforming web teams into systems programmers, blending deep systems skills with pragmatic delivery. Based in Littleton, Colorado, he combines aerospace and medical-robotics background with startup product instincts to solve real-time, safety-critical problems.
