Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Philps is a pragmatic software engineer with 8 years of experience who recently joined the LEGO Group after driving backend reliability and observability at GreenMobility. He started in frontend work—building pixel-perfect React/Redux UIs—and transitioned into TypeScript-focused backend development, shipping GraphQL services, PostgreSQL migrations, and IaC with Terraform. Matthew has a strong testing mindset (unit, integration, end-to-end) and has prototyped practical improvements like OpenTelemetry instrumentation and stress testing to harden production systems. He thrives on solving hairy integration problems, from tRPC type-safety to legacy data migrations, and keeps dependencies current to reduce technical debt. Based in Copenhagen, he pairs cross-functional collaboration with a history of shipping features in short sprints for high-traffic consumer platforms. Beyond code, his background in journalism and language study surfaces in clear technical communication and disciplined, evidence-driven troubleshooting.
