Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Nakama is a Data Plane Engineering Architect with 13 years of hands-on experience building high-performance, systems-level software across Linux, AIX, FreeBSD and cloud platforms. He combines deep low-level expertise — from x86 assembly and C to Python and JavaScript — with practical cloud networking experience (OpenStack, Calico) to deliver automated, production-grade infrastructure and security tooling. At companies from Bloomberg to Skytap he has redesigned legacy architectures, replaced multi-process models with async coroutines, and implemented automated firewall and deployment systems. Comfortable across full stack and operations, he also brings a history of mentoring, interviewing, and shipping large codebases, and once believed C++ was the best language—until a dozen more convinced him otherwise.
