Matthew Steggink is a systems-focused software development engineer with 10+ years designing and operating high-performance computing, datacenter, and cloud-native infrastructure. Currently at AMD after founding and leading Nova Spero Solutions, he brings hands-on expertise from roles as Principal Engineer and Engineering Manager responsible for multiple TOP500 HPC installations. His background spans system and network engineering, Linux consultancy, and IT security, with deep experience in large-scale PXE/netboot troubleshooting and performance tuning. He’s comfortable both leading teams and diving into low-level infrastructure problems—having prototyped boot-over-TCP/HTTP to solve node boot failures early in his career. Based in the Greater Calgary area, he blends academic training (MSc System and Network Engineering) with entrepreneurial grit and a proven track record in mission-critical environments. Notably, his profile emphasizes infrastructure-first thinking: optimizing the stack where software meets hardware to deliver reliable, secure, and scalable compute platforms.
