Matteo v2026.8 is accepting deployments

Platform as a Human

Matteo builds developer platforms, ships software, works with customers, and automates the boring parts. Then he writes it down, contributes upstream, or explains it on stage.

Start trialRun compatibility test

Looking for a full-time role. Still available for the occasional consulting job.

matteo.features()

Four jobs that somehow fit in one human.

The startup framing is a joke. The work is very real.

platform.core

Developer platforms engineers actually use

Built platform APIs and zero-touch onboarding for 70+ engineers. Earlier, helped run infrastructure and APIs used by 10M+ people every day.

solutions.interface

Customer conversations that end in working software

Runs discovery, designs the architecture, builds the demo, guides implementation, and sends useful feedback to product. Reached 180% quota at GitHub and won Club FY26.

ai.automation

AI for work people are tired of doing

Builds agents and internal tools for real workflows. One assistant removed 20–25% of recurring Solutions Engineering work.

open.protocol

Open source, talks, and teaching

Kubernetes release engineering maintainer with 40+ merged upstream pull requests, 20+ talks, 500+ learners, and 20+ mentees. Still rated 5/5, somehow.

Pick the problem currently ruining your roadmap. The diagnosis changes. The same suspiciously reusable engineer appears.

MATCH CONFIRMED / HIGH CONFIDENCE

Build a platform developers stop working around.

Matteo starts with the developers using it, picks sensible defaults, and checks whether anyone adopts it. The infrastructure is the easy part.

  • Built platform APIs and zero-touch onboarding for 70+ engineers
  • Led infrastructure and built APIs serving 10M+ daily users to this day
  • Kubernetes release engineering maintainer and production operator

Tools I can use without turning them into a personality.

I work across cloud, backend, frontend, and AI tooling. I also know when Kubernetes is not the answer. Rare, but it happens.

Release notes / before somebody asks in an interview

Known issues. I can live with them.

  • Job-title leakageMay move from a customer call to architecture to implementation without requesting a handoff meeting.
  • Automation reflexIf I do the same thing twice, the third attempt may be a script, agent, or internal tool.
  • Will explain everythingDocumentation, a talk, or an upstream pull request may appear after the work is done.
