# Matt. W. > Software Engineer and Bioengineer Location: Greater Boston, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/mattw2 As a dedicated Full-Stack Software Engineer at Asimov, I excel in developing and maintaining comprehensive platforms and internal tools that enhance productivity and reliability. My focus is on delivering business-critical features over "nice-to-haves", and my key contribution has been the development of robust internal tools. These tools have empowered scientists to increase throughput and enhance work quality. In this role, I am actively involved in implementing thoughtful software design principles and adding automation to workflows. These strategies are aimed at streamlining decision-making for scientists, enhancing their ability to execute tasks efficiently. By creating intuitive interfaces and workflows, scientists are able to easily identify and make critical decisions. Additionally, the integration of automation into various workflows eliminates manual processes and reduces the potential for human error. This strategic feature development and user-centric design approach significantly improve the overall user experience and operational efficiency. On the frontend, I employ modern development practices, using Apollo Client for state management and GraphQL APIs. My commitment to code quality is underscored by my use of testing libraries like Jest and React Testing Library, and my focus on accessibility and design systems through Radix UI and Stitches. I also utilize Datadog for application monitoring, a crucial aspect of maintaining high-quality internal tools. On the backend, I've worked extensively with Python, using libraries such as SQLAlchemy (an ORM), and Graphene for GraphQL APIs. I bring hands-on experience with a variety of technologies and tools, including both GCP and AWS Services, React.js, MongoDB, Express.js, Node.js, and Typescript/JavaScript. In every role, I strive for professional development and continuous advancement of my programming skills. I'm adept with collaboration tools such as git, Slack, Teams, and the Atlassian Suite, and have a solid understanding of dev, test, and production environments. I'm always eager to learn and adapt quickly to new technologies or toolsets. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer & Platform Lead @ Fair Jan 2025 – Present | United States * Own the full SDLC, infra, and SRE for Fair Tech’s B2B/B2C car-warranty platform (7 k MAU, ~140 k API req/month). Lead a 4-person crew (1 Sr FE, 2 juniors) and set tech strategy for everything backend → prod. * Green-field cloud stack: ECS Fargate + ALB, VPC, Cognito, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager, SES, Lambda; all IaC in Terraform; GitHub Actions → ECR → AWS. Legacy Flutter/Express/EC2 retired in favor of React/NestJS/ECS. * Deployed CI/CD from zero to sub-2-minute autoships. Replaced manual SSH pulls with Dockerized builds, pre-commit hooks, test gates, and branch protection—hours of busy-work → zero per release; daily deploy cadence. * Reliability uplift: introduced Datadog; slashed outage windows from hours to mere minutes and built HA topology (multi-AZ ECS vs. single EC2). * Growth driver: shipped new quote + checkout flow with promo/plan logic—directly fueling 30 % MoM sales & user growth while platform spend only doubled to <$400/mo thanks to autoscaling. * Process & culture: launched Scrum, GitHub Projects, bi-weekly retros/arch reviews, 1:1s; cut stand-ups 50 % (<15 min). Wrote issue / PR templates and review checklists. * Leadership: mentor 2 juniors, recruited 1 Sr FE, review 100 % of PRs. Translate tech debt & cost forecasts for C-suite, keeping roadmap laser-focused on high-impact work. * Security runway: architected authZ patterns and env-secret hygiene aligned with future PCI scope. Stack highlights: TypeScript / NestJS / React • Docker • AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, Cognito, S3, Lambda, SES) • Terraform • GitHub Actions • Datadog ### Software Engineer @ Asimov Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States * Frontend Development Ownership: Independently developed and owned 50% of the greenfield frontend for a LIMS and workflow management application, leveraging modular and composable modules for rapid feature delivery, reducing time to market by 50% while ensuring scalability and ease of updates. (Typescript, React, GCP, Apollo, GraphQL) * Agile: Prepared weekly frontend version releases, with focus on driving down issue iteration time and prioritizing impactful issues. * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborated closely with engineering, product, and lab teams to refine features based on feedback, aligning technical solutions with stakeholder priorities and user needs. (Slack, Miro, GSuite) * Code Quality and Maintainability: Delivered highly maintainable and testable code, resulting in 0% user frustration and 0 critical bugs, ensuring smooth operation for DNA construction workflows and minimizing disruptions for scientists.(Jest) * Backend Feature Development: Enhanced functionality within an ORM and SQLAlchemy-based backend, supporting API integrations and working closely with team leads to align features with core architecture. (Python, mypy, pytest) * Effective with Ambiguity: Proactively scoped and delivered features from vague requirements, establishing clear objectives with stakeholders and improving release consistency. (Github) Observability and Reliability: Employed Datadog for proactive performance monitoring and reliability checks, identifying issues early to enhance stability across production environments. ### Senior Solutions Architect @ Convergence CT Jan 2018 – Jan 2021 | Honolulu, Hawaii, United States * Full-Stack Platform Development: Led an engineering team of 3 developing and deploying a full-stack platform on AWS, optimizing clinical data storage and retrieval to improve access for healthcare partners. (React, JavaScript, Confluence, Jira) * Cloud Infrastructure Management: Managed AWS resources, including EC2, S3, CodeCommit, CloudWatch, AWS Lambda, VPC, DynamoDB (NoSQL), security groups, and AWS Amplify, for four years, ensuring high availability and security. * Data Warehousing: Oversaw the implementation of three Healthcare Clinical Data Warehouses using a hybrid of on-premise and cloud solutions, enabling efficient, centralized data storage for healthcare analytics. (Trello) * ETL Process Management: Successfully managed ETL workflows to migrate clinical data to a warehouse for a hospital in China, leading a team of engineers and ensuring clear, seamless communication with international partners and clients. ### Program Analyst @ Convergence CT Jan 2016 – Jan 2018 * Quality and Accreditation Standards: Designed and managed over 10,000 Hospital Quality and Accreditation measures, achieving a 98% validation accuracy rate through close collaboration with local Chinese IT teams and hospital staff. (SQL) * Data Validation: Ensured accuracy and efficiency by validating quality measures with local IT groups and hospital staff, improving data reliability for regulatory compliance. * Database Management: Maintained over 700 stored procedures and managed 100+ source tables to streamline data access and improve analysis capabilities.
