"Matt was a great employee. He is passionate about learning and improving his back-end development skills. He also excels in writing qualifications. He’s been a great addition to the team."


"Matt completely overhauled the database architecture for the company's app, using a new logical arrangement that he'd never seen before but learned within days. He seems to me like a seriously creative problem solver and a natural mentor, and I'd definitely work with him again."

"During the time we worked together I found Matt to be very intelligent and methodical in his approach within a software development process. Matt has proven to be a great asset within a development team and he works very well in a collaborative, time sensitive environment."

Let's talk

After you introduce yourself and your project, I'll get in touch to schedule a time to chat. You should expect to hear from me in a day or so.
