Matthew Deady is a Senior Software Engineer and architect with 11 years of experience building scalable, service-oriented systems and improving engineer productivity. Currently at Starburst after senior roles at Hopper and a multi-year tenure at True Fit, he led a major monolith-to-microservices re-architecture that boosted performance ~500%, implemented resilience patterns, and reduced critical data size by orders of magnitude. He combines back-end systems expertise with hands-on performance testing, CI/CD pipeline design, and operational tooling that enabled predictable horizontal scaling and smoother team handoffs. An active contributor to Trino, Matthew has improved connectors and fault-tolerant query runners, demonstrating a focus on reliable data connectivity for big-data SQL engines. Based in Woburn, MA with a physics degree from UMass Lowell, he enjoys taking on the hardest engineering problems and building tools that make other engineers’ lives easier.
