Top SchoolMatthew Hess is an accomplished full-stack engineer and engineering leader with two decades of technology experience and nine years focused in senior development and architecture roles. As AVP, Full Stack Engineer at Synchrony he blends hands-on Java Spring Boot and React work with cloud-native deployment expertise—containerizing services, authoring Helm charts, and integrating Vault for secrets management. He has a strong serverless and DevOps pedigree from building production systems on AWS (Lambda, ECS/Fargate, CloudFront) and automating infrastructure with Terraform and CI/CD pipelines in GitLab and Jenkins. Matthew has led product and platform efforts as a CTO and freelance lead, shipping web and mobile apps (React, React Native) and managing end-to-end responsibilities from design to app store releases. Comfortable bridging academic, enterprise, and startup contexts, he also modernized identity and SSO integrations (Azure AD, Cognito) for complex organizations. Colleagues praise his hustle-to-hack ethos—equally adept at strategic architecture and rolling up his sleeves to deliver the code and operational plumbing.
