Matt Byerly Email & Phone Number

Matt Byerly is a Principal Network Engineer at Fastly. Colleagues describe them as "At Zynga, Matt was my goto guy for all things Load Balancer. Willing to both think out of the box, and to do the extra learning and research to make those ideas actually work, Matt saved my group from needless complexity several times through gracefully creating an elegant solution in an iRule or some such magic. Matt was willing to go the extra mile when it was exceedingly useful. He's also one of those rare people who not only gets the requested work done but will actually improve upon your proposal and prevent you from driving into the ditch. I will miss working with Matt and would jump at the opportunity to work with him again.", "Matt Byerly is one of the hardest working guys I've ever met. He possesses a tremendous amount of intellectual drive and has a natural desire to figure things out. He just can't stop until he has the answer, making him a tremendous troubleshooter and network engineer. I've learned so much working with Matt over the past 3 years -- everything from how to approach problems when things break to improving my sysadmin skills. He doesn't disappear when things get crazy like I see other so-called 'senior' folks do at times. You can count on him every step of the way! As for his contributions to Zynga -- let's just say I think Zynga would not have been able to pull of its migration from EC2 to our own data centers without his expert load balancing/application delivery skill-set. He worked tirelessly, ensuring that a massively scaleable and resilient load balancing infrastructure was put in place. He worked up to the last minute before his last day, wrapping up the original vision and its delivery to Zynga. He is committed and always does what he says he will do. In short, you should hire Matt. He is unbelievable. Reach out to me (mhite@hotmail.com) if you want to hear more. I have nothing but great things to say about him. Quite frankly, though, you'll have a hard time finding anyone who didn't enjoy working with Matt. He's a rare find! I looking forward to being able to work with him again one day.", and "Working with Matt was a pleasure. He found creative and inventive ways to address networking issues. The end result was a faster, more resilient and less expensive network. I hope to work with Matt in the future."
