About

I help engineering organizations execute with more clarity across teams, architecture, and delivery.

I’m Mateus Schmitz, an engineering leader focused on team growth, platform evolution, and reliable product delivery.

In recent years, I have worked with companies in payments, e-commerce, and CPaaS, where reliability and operational discipline are non-negotiable.

Most of my work centers on helping engineering teams grow without sacrificing clarity, speed, and ownership.

Focus

What I focus on

My work sits at the intersection of engineering leadership, platform strategy, and product development.

As companies grow, engineering gets harder: more teams, more services, more dependencies, and more cross-functional decisions.

The goal is simple: handle complexity while keeping delivery predictable.

Experience

I have worked in payments, e-commerce, CPaaS, and infrastructure, where reliability and scale are operating requirements.

Building

Independent projects

Alongside my work with engineering teams, I build independent software projects.

Some start as experiments. Others become real products. Building from scratch keeps my perspective practical.

It is a constant reminder that software is about solving concrete problems and shipping useful outcomes.

Outside work

I also create content about games, tech and management, a space that has influenced how I think about feedback loops, design, and user experience while sharing my office with a few very opinionated dogs.
