I'm Matt. I'm joining Redpanda as a Principal Software Engineer on the Agentic Data Plane (ADP) team.
I build infrastructure and developer tools, with a focus on distributed systems, AI platforms, and cloud-native software. I enjoy working through hard systems problems and making the results useful to the people who depend on them.
- 🚀 I'm joining Redpanda to work on the Agentic Data Plane

- 📫 How to reach me: LinkedIn, X, or here on GitHub
- ⚡ Fun fact: I've traveled to 49 out of 50 U.S. states. Just missing Hawaii!
Previously, I co-founded to11, where I helped build an AI observability platform with OpenTelemetry-native tracing, prompt management, and evals for LLM applications.
Before that, I was a Principal Engineer at Terramate, where I worked on the Terramate CLI and Terramate Cloud to help teams manage and orchestrate infrastructure.
At Cloud Posse, I was a Principal Engineer, contributed to open-source tooling, led platform initiatives, and helped launch Atmos Pro. As a founding engineer at Gruntwork, I helped build Terragrunt and Terratest. Earlier in my career, I was CTO at Twiage.
My experience as an engineer, founder, and CTO shapes how I work. I like getting into the implementation details, understanding what customers need, and helping teams decide what to build.
Thanks for stopping by!
