Summary
Matthew Valli is a Senior Full Stack Engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable web applications, currently focused at Intuit after leading full-stack work at Cedar and OneVigor. He specializes in the MERN stack and has hands-on experience modernizing architectures—most notably replacing Django Channels with a high-performance, horizontally scalable Node.js WebSocket server. Matthew blends backend expertise (Node, Express, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, AWS) with front-end migrations to React and pragmatic state management, while championing testable, modular code. He has taught and mentored bootcamp students and teammates, translating complex concepts into practical learning and product improvements. Based in San Diego, he brings a rare mix of product ownership and infrastructure savvy, from REST and GraphQL services to search (Elasticsearch) and cloud automation. Unusually for an engineer with a film studies BA, he leverages storytelling skills to shape user-centric interfaces and clear technical direction.
