CTO at Better Than Brian
Littleton, Colorado, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Macchia is a hands-on technology leader and CTO with nine years in senior engineering roles and two decades of practical software experience building high-traffic, cloud-native systems. He has a track record of scaling engineering organizations from zero to multi-dozen teams, launching MVPs to production, and aligning technical roadmaps with fundraising and board-level strategy. Matthew combines deep architecture and delivery chops—from event-sourced frameworks and high-performance microservices to large-scale CMS and ad-tech platforms—with a talent for defining processes that tame legacy complexity. He’s equally comfortable as a fractional CTO advising customers and as a public-facing engineering exec who speaks at conferences and represents engineering to boards. Based in Littleton, Colorado, he brings an uncommon blend of startup founder grit (co-founding and exiting a lead-gen business) and enterprise modernization experience from companies like IBM and Event Store.
