Summary
Matthew Wood is a Production Engineer with 11 years of experience blending network engineering, traffic analysis, and tooling to make complex systems intuitive and reliable. Based in Redwood City, he builds production-grade automation and validation for Linux servers and hardware—recently focusing on Rust-based drivers and out-of-tree kernel module safety for Meta’s fleet. A long-time packets-first troubleshooter and Wireshark enthusiast, he pairs deep packet-level debugging with pragmatic automation to keep networks predictable at scale. His background spans backbone automation, BGP failover, and inline security services, and he brings a designer’s attention to form as well as function so tools actually get used.
