Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Dargan is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience delivering high-performance, cost-efficient systems across aerospace and agriculture tech. He now helps run a global-scale geospatial data platform processing 5TB+ hourly, where his team’s migrations (Scala→Go), GPU/CUDA work, and AWS optimizations produced $20M in annual savings. Comfortable across low-level avionics (DO-178B/C, Ada/C) and cloud-native stacks (Go, Terraform, ECS, Parquet), he bridges safety-critical discipline with large-scale distributed engineering. He routinely partners with clients, leads incident response, and mentors engineers in GPU and performance engineering—often finding micro-architecture wins (AVX-512/C GO) that compound into major cost reductions. Based in Iowa City, he brings a pragmatic focus on measurable impact and maintainable modernization.
