Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Pelland is a software engineering leader with a decade of experience, currently managing Hypervisor Engineering at Akamai in Boston. He combines deep systems and kernel expertise with hands-on delivery—having mainlined contributions to Linux, U-Boot, Apache Airflow, nnpy, and Rust ecosystems—and a strong track record in complex application development and systems integration. His open-source focus includes practical build-system work for projects like PyO3, where he resolved cross-compilation and signedness issues to make Rust-to-Python bindings more portable. A Northeastern CS graduate with a 3.95 GPA, he blends rigorous academic foundations with enterprise-scale engineering leadership and a knack for improving low-level toolchains that others rely on.
