Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRick Matza is a software engineer and founder with a decade of experience building embedded systems, full-stack web apps, and distributed backend services—four of those years at Amazon designing Java and TypeScript systems on AWS. He combines deep technical chops (Java, Spring, AWS, TypeScript, Unity/C#) with an ownership-driven product mindset honed by running an independent digital asset business that shipped 26 products, earned 6,000+ sales and a 4.7/5 rating. At Amazon he led migrations to modern IaC and revived cross-team engineering guilds; as an indie founder he reduced asset setup time for non-technical users to under 15 minutes through custom Unity tooling. Rick is drawn to problems where craftsmanship and user impact intersect and brings practical experience across the full lifecycle—from architecture and CI/CD to packaging, support, and iteration. He’s now seeking to rejoin a collaborative team to apply his end-to-end ownership approach to larger-scale engineering challenges.
