Welcome
Hey, I'm Matt, a Software Engineer with a passion for crafting sleek, high-performing websites and applications. With years of experience in Front-End and Back-End development, I love turning ideas into functional, beautifully designed digital experiences. Whether it's clean, efficient code or intuitive user interfaces, I build solutions that not only work - but work for you.
Let's work together!
About me
My journey into software development began with a deep passion for technology and problem-solving. Over the years, I've honed my skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Laravel, Vue.js, and WordPress. What sets me apart is my commitment to clean, maintainable code and user-friendly design. I believe in the power of collaboration and communication, and I thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
Outside of work, I have a love for music and play the guitar. I nearly pursued a degree in music production but ultimately chose a software development apprenticeship. I've traveled extensively and plan to continue exploring the world. These experiences have shaped my perspective and approach to both life and work.

I mentored an apprentice, conducted code reviews, and worked on web and mobile applications for both Android and iOS. My role also included integrating multiple APIs, managing server-side processes, and conducting thorough testing and quality assurance. Additionally, I provided customer support to over 200 schools in the UK and internationally. I primarily worked with PHP and learned Swift and Java.

At WiFi SPARK, I designed and developed User Experience Portals for WiFi hotspots, implemented new features, and resolved issues within existing systems. I gained hands-on experience troubleshooting production environments, conducting peer reviews, and performing acceptance testing. Additionally, I managed databases and provided third-line support. During this time, I learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and some PHP and MySQL.
