Summary
Matthew Hoskins is a seasoned technology leader with over two decades of hands-on experience and 11 years in senior roles shaping core systems and cloud services at NJIT. As Director of Core Systems and Cloud Services and Senior Enterprise Architect, he bridges deep technical expertise in Linux/UNIX, VMware, NetApp/enterprise storage, and AWS migrations with pragmatic strategy and team-first leadership. He excels at translating complex infrastructure needs—data center power/cooling, SAN/NAS, backup, and virtualization—into reliable, scalable production platforms while mentoring teams to raise organizational capability. Known for a disarmingly casual, curious style, he champions empathy and generosity as force multipliers for culture and knowledge sharing. An operator who still digs into automation (Python, Shell, Ansible/Salt) and systems plumbing, he uniquely combines infrastructure instincts with project planning and migration execution for research and education environments.
