Summary
R Matthews is a Delivery Manager and Certified Scrum Master with nine years of experience building and shipping web applications, currently leading delivery at Moody’s Ratings from Charlotte, NC. He evolved from full‑stack software engineer roles—implementing Angular/React front-ends and Java backends for document-heavy apps like PDF extraction and committee memo tooling—into a role that blends technical delivery with Agile coaching and stakeholder collaboration. Comfortable in both hands-on coding and program management, he regularly contributes to sprint planning, estimation, and cross-functional recruitment and mentoring. His background includes civic tech and public-sector fellowships (USDS, Coding it Forward) and entrepreneurial NSF I-Corps experience, showing a persistent interest in applying tech for social impact. Outside the office he brings creative energy as a longtime DJ and TEDx speaker, a detail that hints at strong presentation skills and event-level coordination. He holds BS degrees in Computer Science and African & African-American Studies from Brandeis and a CFP certificate, reflecting a rare mix of technical, cultural, and financial literacy.
