Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Bruce is a Staff Data Developer with nine years of experience designing, deploying, and operating large-scale, resilient systems across hundreds to thousands of servers. He blends systems engineering, architecture, and hands-on development—expertise that spans Hadoop, Kafka, Spark, ElasticSearch, and orchestration/configuration tools like Puppet and Chef—to build high-throughput data platforms and robust DNS/anycast infrastructures. At BlackBerry he led a major Hadoop migration across 1000+ servers and implemented Kafka infrastructure that handled tens of millions of messages per second; at Shopify he continues to apply that operational rigor to data platform challenges. Practical with many languages (Java, Scala, Python, C++, Perl, PHP, C#) and a knack for creative problem-solving, he favors horizontal scalability, redundancy, and measurable performance tuning. Based in Woolwich, Ontario and educated at the University of Waterloo, he pairs deep operational experience with a quick aptitude for learning and integrating new technologies.
