Matthew Wickman

Engineering leader ยท Denver, Colorado

Hi, I'm Matthew. I lead engineering teams and stay hands-on in the code.

I've been lucky to work on mobile apps, cloud platforms, and, lately, AI agents, alongside a lot of talented people I've learned a great deal from.

01 / Work

Things I've worked on

AI agents & tooling

Agents, MCP servers, and ways to test whether they're doing what you hoped. Lately I've also been helping teams use agents to plan, build, and review their code.

Platforms & infrastructure

Edge computing and Kubernetes. Running workloads across a few different clouds, trying to keep them reliable and the bill reasonable.

New products

Helping get new products from an empty repo to launch, then listening to users and improving things from there.

Mobile & maps

A big part of my journey: Android and iOS apps, plus navigation and location services.

E-commerce & SaaS

Where I got my start: building online storefronts and software-as-a-service products.

02 / Approach

What I try to do

  1. 01

    Stay close to the work.

    The people closest to the code usually know best, so I try to stay close to it too.

  2. 02

    Make it easier for others to contribute.

    Good tooling and guardrails let more people ship safely.

  3. 03

    Be honest about how things are going.

    Reliability, delivery, and cost, measured and talked about plainly.

  4. 04

    Help people grow.

    I've had great mentors and try to pay that forward.

03 / Elsewhere

A few other things

I'm an Eagle Scout, a former EMT, and a University of Tennessee alum who swapped the Smokies for the Rockies. I've also been fortunate to work on a couple of projects with teams that ended up patenting them.

04 / Contact

Say hello

I'm always happy to chat, compare notes, or learn about what you're working on.
