Summary
Matthew Burke is a Senior Software Engineer with 15+ years of experience, currently building mobile experiences at Life360 after leading iOS development at Capital One. His background spans embedded and systems programming to web and server-side work, and he routinely chooses the right language for the problem—Swift, Objective-C, C/C++, Java, Python and more—having even used Prolog and Forth in niche engineering projects. Certified as an AWS Solutions Architect, he combines deep mobile UI/UX sensibility with backend integration experience (including server-side Swift, Java, Golang and Rust exploration). A former academic with a PhD in Mathematics, he brings rigor and rapid learning to unfamiliar stacks and is currently experimenting with APL and Julia to broaden his perspective. He values building software that actually helps users achieve their goals and thrives collaborating with strong UX partners to turn elegant code into useful products.
