# Julian Mateu > Founding Engineer at ARC Analytics | Pluralsight Author | Electronics Engineer | Ex Google, Amazon, Monzo Location: London Area, United Kingdom, United Kingdom Profile: https://flows.cv/julianmateu Founding Engineer at ARC Analytics, I'm leading the development of high-performance analytics software for structured finance and corporate finance. I have a strong background in fintech and tech in general, building distributed systems, data pipelines, and scalable platforms using Go, Python, Java, and Typescript across cloud and on-prem environments (Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure). I love tackling complex real-world problems, moving fast from idea to impact, and building lean, resilient engineering teams. I’m driven by continuous learning and the challenge of turning technical complexity into clear, usable solutions. Alongside my engineering work, I teach software development courses on Pluralsight and was previously a university teaching assistant — sharing what I learn and helping others grow has always been core to my career. Outside of tech, I’m an active musician (piano, guitar, composition) and have a lifelong fascination with Maths and Physics.
