Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Sullivan is a senior software engineer in Minneapolis with 12 years of experience building scalable, resilient systems across startups and enterprise environments. He blends hands-on engineering (AWS, Docker, Go, Ruby, Python, Postgres) with infrastructure-first thinking—driving immutable infrastructure, automated push-button deploys, and fast rebuildable stacks that cut downtime and configuration drift. As a founder of Jumpr and Prairie I/O, he pairs product instincts and community-building with technical leadership, growing a distributed user base and organizing regional learning events. At Botlink and Star Tribune he led cloud and platform initiatives, including a Terraform/Deis plugin and a migration to container-based architectures, demonstrating a knack for developer self-service and operational efficiency. Notably, he has practical experience reducing rebuild time to under 20 minutes and has been bought out of a startup he helped scale to nationwide usage, underscoring both his execution and entrepreneurial judgment.
