Top SchoolMatthew Erickson is a product engineer with 15 years of professional experience and two decades applying technology to large, mission-critical problems. He has led engineering, product, and client-facing teams at SpiderOak—rising from software engineer to VP Solutions—where he bridged secure cloud storage, federal customers, and product strategy for defense and intelligence markets. At Zetier he now aligns hardware, software, and services to turn proofs of concept into profitable products while keeping teams rowing in the same direction.

He brings a security-first mindset to emerging domains like space, arguing that terrestrial information-security mistakes must not be repeated as we expand beyond Earth. Based in Virginia with a BA in Political Science from UIUC, he pairs technical depth with policy fluency to build usable, mission-focused systems.
