Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Loucks is a software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and recovery solutions. He has driven measurable impact—most notably designing an internal cloud provisioning system that saved his previous employer $40K annually and led a website redesign that increased traffic by 32%. Comfortable across server hardware, Ceph storage clusters, and full-stack web development, he pairs practical ops skills with backend engineering. Currently at Whisker after an intern-to-hire transition, he brings startup-style ownership and a penchant for pragmatic, cost-saving automation. Unexpectedly, he’s unabashed about liking PHP, suggesting a willingness to use the right tool for the job rather than follow fads.
