Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Nesbitt is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building robust back-end systems and tooling, currently leading engineering work at Carrot while consulting through DreamFlow Software. He combines deep systems and reverse-engineering expertise—evident from substantive contributions to high-profile open-source projects like x64dbg, Capstone, and LIEF—with practical production engineering across e-commerce and enterprise platforms. Matthew has a track record of improving performance, stability, and developer ergonomics by refactoring core symbol handling, adding architecture-specific disassembly features, and hardening binary format libraries. Comfortable across C++ and low-level tooling, he also brings game-engine and emulator experience from OpenMW and OpenLoco contributions that reveal an attention to correctness and cross-domain thinking. Based in the Albany, NY area, he pairs technical leadership with hands-on bug-hunting instincts—aptly summarized on GitHub as a "bug destroyer."
