Thiago Mata is a senior technology leader based in Sydney with over 14 years crafting web and data systems, currently leading teams at Macquarie Group. He started in web development in 2001 and has held roles from frontend and backend engineer to CTO, giving him a rare end-to-end perspective on product, infrastructure and operations. His work spans high-availability public-sector platforms, security-sensitive permission systems, complex financial transaction processing, and real-time mobile streaming—one project even contributed to a Cannes Lions–winning app. More recently he focused on big data and cloud-native architectures involving clusters, distributed storage/search, streaming and machine learning at scale. Comfortable across HTML5/Angular frontends, PHP backends, REST APIs and diverse databases (Oracle, Postgres, MongoDB, Parquet), he pairs hands-on engineering with UML/BPMN-driven analysis and Lean/Scrum delivery. He blends entrepreneurial instincts from founding startups with large-enterprise rigor, often choosing pragmatic data stores and architectures based on real product needs rather than dogma.
