Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Mihok is a senior infrastructure engineer and polyglot programmer with over a decade of experience building cloud-native platforms, developer workflows, and production web applications. He has repeatedly blended founder-level product instincts with hands-on engineering—leading startups, founding Mihok Systems, and creating micropayment and chat platforms while scaling enterprise-grade infrastructure at companies like Wealthsimple and Nautical Commerce. Matthew's technical breadth spans Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS/Azure/GCP, TypeScript/Node.js, Go, and Python, plus deep experience with CI/CD, databases, and infra automation. He’s equally comfortable coaching teams and shipping code, having managed engineering teams through acquisition transitions and built on-call, secure systems at scale. An active community builder (organizer of TorontoJS) and open-source-minded engineer, he brings entrepreneurial curiosity and product sensibility to infrastructure problems. A less obvious strength is his combined background in design and philosophy, which informs pragmatic, user-focused system design.
