Top SchoolMatthew Meyers is a full-stack web developer with 12 years of experience who now balances software engineering at Obsidian with training and practice as a marriage and family therapist. He brings deep expertise in JavaScript, React, Node.js and TypeScript, and has shipped both front-end UX work (notably Obsidian plugins like obsidian-kanban and obsidian-style-settings) and back-end integrations (including contributions to Zotero Better BibTeX). Matthew has led engineering teams and cross-platform product efforts at companies like Textio and Spatially, driving migrations, developer tooling, and mobile-first desktop app work. Based in Seattle, he is pursuing a clinical counseling degree while seeking part-time therapy work to sustain this career shift, combining technical empathy with clinical training. An unlikely but powerful strength is his ability to translate complex technical architectures into accessible user experiences and therapeutic concepts, informed by hands-on open-source contributions. This blend of engineering leadership and emerging clinical practice makes him adept at solving human-centered technical problems.
