Matt Mischewski
Forward Deployed Engineer — I embed in real organisations and own the deployment from discovery to production proof.
Three decades, three domains — factory commissioning, telecom routing, healthcare data. The constant: the hard part is rarely the technology. It's making it dependable inside a real organisation, where data is incomplete, incentives conflict, and someone owns the consequence.

Experience
Founder — Dreamineering (2023–Present)
Building the instruments that productize forward-deployed engineering — RFP first, toward a business launcher.
- Built the RFP instrument (drmg-sales) first — the front door of a business launcher for infrastructure projects, grounded in dairy-factory commissioning and telco RFP response (days → hours).
- Brought factory commissioning discipline (L0–L4) into software — pre-flight maps plus independent post-flight verification, so "shipped" means verified against spec, not just built.
- Grew the Dreamineering Playbook — the question-engine — with an AI-agent fleet: 17,000+ commits.
Stack: TypeScript, Next.js 15, React, TailwindCSS v4, Drizzle ORM, PostgreSQL, Nx, Playwright.
Product Manager & SME — Subex / WorldCom (2000–2006)
- Cut RFP response from days to hours — unified four siloed carrier hierarchies into a single routing optimisation tool.
- Built the reference data system that eliminated arbitrage losses by aligning the model with carrier-agreement reality.
Business Analyst & Developer — Gensolve (2014–2021)
- Built ETL pipelines migrating 50+ legacy data formats into a unified model for 200+ healthcare clinics. Siloed data → shared intelligence.
Project Engineer — Ashton Project Services (1996–1998)
- Designed and commissioned industrial process control systems. Where I learned loops shape destiny — the same pattern I run in software today, grounded in moving real energy through real pipe.
Education
Mechanical Engineering — Waikato Institute of Technology, NZ (1992–1994)
Thermodynamics, process control, constraint-based design. First principles that still underpin the work.
