Top SchoolMatthew Riddle is a Staff Software Engineer and engineering leader with over a decade of experience modernizing legacy systems and scaling distributed platforms across startups and global enterprises.

Known for tackling unowned, high-complexity problems, he’s delivered large operational wins—like auto-terminating stalled DB queries to protect cluster health—and grown high-performing, distributed Ruby teams. Based in Aarhus after relocating from Australia, he combines a pragmatic technical lens with a passion for mentoring, knowledge sharing, and making overlooked systems reliable and maintainable.
