Top SchoolMatthew Byrd is an SDE II with nine years of engineering experience who blends applied NLP research and full-stack web development to deliver production-ready systems. He holds an MS in Computer Science from UNC-Chapel Hill and was first author on an ACL 2022 paper predicting question difficulty, pairing interpretable NLP features with deep models and presenting results publicly. Matthew has built Django/React backends, Docker/AWS CI workflows, and research web apps that integrate computer vision for biology labs, including a Heroku-deployed video analysis tool and a published biology community contribution. At Epic he led efforts to de-identify data using transformers and regex, and he now continues his engineering career at Amazon, demonstrating a pattern of moving research prototypes into robust, client-facing software. Notably, he has bridged academia and industry by contracting with clients while simultaneously driving research projects that achieve both empirical results and deployed impact.
