Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Creager is a seasoned software leader and founder with 12 years of experience turning complex infrastructure into approachable developer platforms. He led platform engineering and developer experience at Snyk during hypergrowth, co-founded and helped scale Manifold (acquired), and ran DevRel at Heroku in its influential years—always focused on making hard systems feel simple. Now based in Halifax, he’s building Keycard to solve the novel identity challenges posed by AI agents, designing per-action, real-time authorization rather than static API keys. He remains a hands-on coder and toolmaker who multiplies developer impact, pairing product instincts with deep operational experience. A subtle through-line in his career is translating customer-facing pain into automated, scalable internal systems—whether at BlackBerry, Salesforce, or boutique consulting—so teams can move faster without sacrificing safety.
