A Software EngineerMatthew Scholta
Driving enterprise-wide technical initiatives. Transforming legacy systems into modern architectures. Building scalable systems that enable teams to ship faster.
Overview
I'm a Sr. Staff Software Engineer with 18+ years of professional experience. Over the past 9 years in startups, I've architected microservice transformations, driven enterprise-wide technical initiatives, and built infrastructure that enables teams to ship faster and more reliably. This breadth has given me the ability to see the entire system, make strategic technical decisions, and deliver solutions that scale with organizational growth.
I specialize in transforming legacy systems into modern, scalable architectures. At Shiftsmart, I've led the transformation from a legacy monolith to a microservice architecture, splitting the system into 8 NestJS APIs, 8 React Router applications. I've driven enterprise-wide TypeScript adoption, built comprehensive observability infrastructure, and created developer tooling that improves productivity across teams.
I'm passionate about designing systems that scale, improving developer experience, and mentoring engineers to reach their potential. If you're looking for a Software Engineer who combines architectural leadership with hands-on execution, I'd love to connect and discuss how I can help your team succeed.
