Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Michelotti is a Senior Software Engineer and applied mathematician with 14 years of technical experience and over nine years working in Agile product teams, currently building backend systems at DefenseStorm. He has led algorithmic and cloud-native development for mapping and sensor-processing products—authoring a widely used Scala geospatial library at HERE and building Rust-based lidar and retroreflectivity pipelines at Mandli. Comfortable across Java, Scala, Rust, Python, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes), he bridges research-grade numerical methods (SLAM, Viterbi, PDE simulation) with production CI/CD practices. Known for mentoring and onboarding engineers, he combines deep algorithmic insight from academic research with hands-on delivery of scalable data-processing systems. An under-the-radar strength is his track record of turning complex geospatial and sensor data into reliable, production-ready features that enable autonomy and infrastructure analytics.
