About Me

Matthew Hardy

"I believe every manual process is a system waiting to be built."

Data Analyst and Software Developer with 3+ years at Amazon and 15+ years across analytics, automation, and cybersecurity. I build data pipelines, automated reporting platforms, and full-stack applications using Python, SQL, VBA, and JavaScript.

Track record of delivering measurable operational impact — from reducing manual processes by 83% to launching fulfillment facilities end-to-end. Certifications in Cybersecurity, Software Development, and Cloud Engineering. Bachelor’s in Computer Science in progress at Western Governors University.

Experience

Amazon

3 years 6 months

Data Analyst

August 2024 – Present
  • Spearheaded an end-to-end facility launch — from legacy decommission to full operational standup — owning capacity planning, zone configuration, and process validation with zero critical disruptions.
  • Led a full-scale infrastructure audit of a 1M+ sq ft facility, resolving over a decade of capacity misalignment — restructuring layouts, correcting system-to-physical discrepancies, and optimizing pathing to protect SLAs and associate safety.
  • Built a real-time capacity management platform with automated controls across drop zones and pick areas, eliminating overflow incidents and transforming reactive safety responses into preventive operations.
  • Developed a network-wide inventory governance platform with automated daily reporting, giving leadership visibility into revenue leakage and enabling targeted corrective actions at scale.
  • Designed a regional compliance monitoring system that surfaced real-time accountability metrics, enabling operations teams to enforce standard work consistency across a newly established network.
  • Architected automated safety reporting systems using SQL that proactively identified and rerouted high-risk packages, directly reducing workplace injuries.
  • Created executive-facing analytics using QuickSight that distilled complex operational data into decision-ready insights for senior leadership.
  • Delivered automation tools that eliminated manual pick path planning and bulk inventory processing, reclaiming associate hours and accelerating fulfillment throughput.
  • Partnered with AWS security and engineering teams to resolve critical (Sev2) vulnerabilities with rapid turnaround, maintaining system integrity under tight SLAs.

Supervisor

March 2023 – August 2024
  • Developed automation macros that reduced a 1-hour manual process to 10 minutes — an 83% efficiency gain adopted across team workflows.
  • Independently identified and built automation solutions that reclaimed significant operational hours for strategic initiatives.

Problem Solver / Ambassador

November 2022 – March 2023
  • Served as Subject Matter Expert conducting audits and managing AWS programs (FC Research, GraVis, Eagle Eye) to support operational excellence.
  • Directed and coached associates, delivered training, and authored standard work procedures to improve team performance and workflow accuracy.

Self-Employed

Investment Analyst

June 2010 – Present
  • Built proprietary financial analysis tools using thinkScript for rapid interpretation of chart patterns across day and swing trading strategies.
  • Automated real-time news collection via APIs for 50+ companies, augmenting fundamental analysis with comprehensive market event coverage.
  • Applied advanced technical analysis (Regression, Wyckoff Accumulation/Distribution) to enhance predictive modeling informed by macroeconomic indicators.

Scientific Games

Analyst

January 2014 – August 2017
  • Enhanced lottery machine monitoring using expertise in Random Number Generators and security features, improving anomaly detection by 15%.
  • Streamlined automated machine update cycles, reducing technology deployment times by 20%.
  • Maintained stringent security clearance and protocols for systems critical to lottery integrity.
