# Tristan Matthias > Senior Software Engineer @ Meta Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/tristanmatthias I am looking for opportunities to build and grow dynamic teams that tackle complex, meaningful problems. I have a strong track record (10+ years) of managing and mentoring developers, many full-stack projects, and experience with companies of all sizes. In my spare time, I founded an international mentorship community of developers that operates in 4 countries. I've taken extensive leadership training, and am always looking to improve the culture of wherever I work. I also have a keen interest in design, machine learning, psychology and writing. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Meta Jan 2024 – Present | Menlo Park, California, United States ### Founder @ Avanci Jan 2024 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area Avanci is an "aspirational luxury" brand which I founded to elevate my mum's art. With a background in royal art, we seek to uplift the human spirit through beauty. We sit at the intersection of personal/spiritual development and fine art. ### Founder & Mentor @ Code Mentoring Jan 2018 – Jan 2024 | Operations in 4 countries Code Mentoring is an international community of aspiring developers and mentors. I founded CM initially in Melbourne, Australia in mid 2018 to build a space for people to get together and learn. It was important that community was at the heart of what we did, that every person felt welcomed, and every person received a lot of value. Over the time we've been mentoring, we've quadrupled in size, spread across to South America, and have received overwhelmingly positive feedback on how we teach and the space we've created. We run a weekly event held in central Melbourne where we teach all levels of programming. Over time we've grown to include more mentors specialising in other areas of programming, with a strong focus on the web. ### Senior Software Engineer @ John Deere Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area Bearflag Robotics (Acquired by John Deere) - Reduced manual ops load by 20%, accelerating ML model retraining cycles with pipelines for extracting and labeling LIDAR and tractor sensor data - Pioneered internal CLI for full stack robotics simulation and standardized tooling - Built and maintained CI/CD pipeline for the Web team - Tech used: Typescript, Go, ROS2, Terraform, Node.js, React, GraphQL ### Senior Software Engineer @ Iron Ox Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area - Technical Lead for UI team.
