MEET THE EXPERT EDGE TEAM
Matthew Kennedy
Chief Technical Officer, Expert Edge Group
Meet Matthew Kennedy, a distinguished IT Professional with a proven track record in the dynamic realm of information technology. With nearly two decades of hands-on experience supporting IT, Matthew has seamlessly transitioned into a leadership role, amassing expertise in government IT infrastructure and software development projects. His strategic thinking, adaptability, and technical prowess shine through in his ability to design robust infrastructure, migrate enterprise applications to the cloud, and present comprehensive planning strategies to senior officials.
Graduating Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Information Systems Management and holding a Security+ certification, Matthew's commitment to excellence is evident in his ongoing pursuit of cloud certifications, specifically focused on Microsoft 365 and Azure.
Matthew worked for the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon for nine years, filling multiple roles including database administrator, system administrator, deployment architect and team lead. After he left, he was called in on more than one occasion to resolve issues that simply could not be fixed by anyone else, even over the course of weeks or months. Every time, he would have it solved in a single day.
Matthew also has the ability to communicate complicated computer jargon to people who don't understand the language. At his time at the National Defense University, he was frequently called upon to train faculty or staff on the IT capabilities that were available to the campus.
