Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Todd is a seasoned software engineer with 18 years of experience building reliable back-end systems and polished UIs, currently contributing at Bridge from his base in Portland, Maine. His background spans fintech and distributed databases, including a key engineering tenure at Cockroach Labs where he made open-source contributions to the widely used CockroachDB project across both UI and backend areas. At Square he helped deliver production-grade services early in his career, and his BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from Duke underpins a pragmatic, analytical approach to complex problems. He blends distributed-systems know-how with front-end sensibilities—comfortable relabeling database activity UIs one week and improving OIDC session flows the next. Matthew favors incremental, observable improvements that reduce operational friction and improve developer ergonomics. Colleagues describe him as steady, detail-oriented, and unusually attentive to the intersection of UX and backend correctness.
