Summary
Matthew Miller is a Senior Software Engineer based in Virginia with six years of experience building reliable systems in domains spanning cloud databases, embedded systems, and autonomy. He currently contributes to Shield AI, bringing recent experience delivering production software for complex perception and reinforcement learning problems alongside prior work advancing Appian’s database and search infrastructure. Matthew has a strong practical background in database migration, high-availability MariaDB/MySQL orchestration, and Java/Python tooling, and has led authentication overhauls and Agile coaching within engineering teams. His early work on flight software and payload command-and-data systems for NASA-affiliated student projects reflects deep systems-level thinking and comfort shipping hardware-integrated software in constrained environments. He pairs graduate-level computer science training from Georgia Tech with hands-on embedded and ML prototyping, making him effective at translating research ideas into production-ready components. Colleagues describe him as an engineer who moves quickly from prototype to robust delivery while keeping an eye for monitoring, testing, and operational reliability.
