Matteo v2026.8 is accepting deployments

Platform as a Human

Matteo turns customer pain into cloud systems, developer platforms, and AI automation people actually adopt - then tells the story to engineers, leaders and the open source community.

Full-time is the primary deployment. Select consulting endpoints remain available.

matteo.features()

One deployment. Four systems that reinforce each other.

The startup framing is a joke. The cross-functional leverage is not.

platform.core

Developer platforms people choose to use

Built platform APIs and zero-touch onboarding used by 70+ engineers, with cloud infrastructure experience supporting products serving 8M+ daily users.

MATCH CONFIRMED / HIGH CONFIDENCE

Build a paved road developers trust enough to take.

Matteo treats the platform as a product: clear users, opinionated defaults, useful feedback loops, and infrastructure choices tied to real developer work.

  • Built platform APIs and zero-touch onboarding for 70+ engineers
  • Led infrastructure serving products with 8M+ daily users
  • Kubernetes release engineering maintainer and production operator

Release notes / before the interview panel asks

Known issues. None are blockers.

  • Cross-functional leakageMay move from customer discovery to architecture to implementation without scheduling a handoff ceremony.
  • Automation reflexRepeated work tends to become a script, agent, or internal product. Humans keep the judgment and the reclaimed time.
  • Open-source instinctWill document the system, teach the team, and look for lessons worth contributing upstream.

Primary deployment: full-time. Consulting capacity: selective.
