Top SchoolMatthew Lese is a Senior Software Engineer II based in San Francisco with four years of professional engineering experience and a background in mechanical design. He builds full‑stack web applications—primarily with Ruby/Rails and modern JavaScript (React/Redux)—and lately writes Clojure for backend work, reflecting a taste for functional programming and algorithmic data manipulation. At Peerspace he progressed rapidly through consecutive engineering roles, shipping production features while working with PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Node/Express, and cloud deployments on AWS and Heroku. He enjoys turning personal hobbies into useful tools—currently prototyping a full‑stack app for saving pizza dough recipes—which illustrates his practice of learning new technologies through practical projects. His prior mechanical engineering roles gave him strong systems thinking and tolerance-for-detail skills that inform his software design and tradeoff decisions.
