Matt Kleiman is passionate about transforming the way the world builds software. Matt struggled with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and other learning disabilities during his first 8 years in the tech industry.

Today Matt is not only a software engineer and consultant, but he is also a manager at Pivotal Labs’ DC office, where he helps others craft their own career journeys.

Matt loves traveling. In 2018 he flew over 100,000 miles in 7 different countries. He and his wife are always looking for cheap flight deals they can turn into great vacations. This year he has put great care into the growth of his mustache, and he fondly refers to his travels as #MustacheOnTheMove. Ask him about the time he flew to Beijing and back in one weekend!

So who am I? Professionally I'm currently working as a DevOps Engineer, in a former life I was a Developer and sometimes a Scrum Master. At one time I thought I had an allergy to DevOps, but once I understood the goals, I saw the light and have become a convert and an evangelist.

Outside of that, I'm a husband, father, fisherman, and hunter. I love to get outdoors with my family. I'm also a bit of a lifehacker and a biohacker trying to squeeze as much out of life as I can. I'm a Pluralsight junkie which just plays into my voracious appetite for knowledge. The thing I always need to work on though is putting my learnings to use, but hey everybody needs a hobby.
