Matthew Calcote is a technical project manager and former software engineer with 11 years of experience modernizing enterprise integration systems for federal and commercial clients. PMP certified with Agile Scrum Master training, he blends hands-on Java/Spring Boot development and Apache ActiveMQ Artemis architecture with end-to-end delivery ownership—scheduling, stakeholder management, risk tracking, and CI/CD-driven releases into Kubernetes. At IBM he focuses on cloud-native messaging and legacy SOA/ESB modernization, while his prior work at Connexta/Octo contributed to the open-source Distributed Data Framework (DDF), where he improved ingest concurrency and queue handling. He progressed from developer to scrum master to functional manager, uniquely able to translate deep technical detail into reliable project outcomes. Based in Tucson, he is most effective where code-level understanding and disciplined program oversight intersect to de-risk complex federal programs.
