Hi, I'm Matthew —
Senior full-stack developer, mobile engineer, system architect, and builder of meaningful digital products. Life long learner.
About Me
I'm a senior full-stack developer specializing in building elegant, scalable, and high-impact applications. I work across web, mobile, and cloud systems — focusing on exceptional UX, clean architecture, and products people love to use. I lead teams, mentor developers, drive technical strategy, and turn ambitious ideas into real, functioning software.
My Journey
2025 — Senior Full-Stack Developer
Leading multiple production-grade web and mobile applications, shaping system architecture, overseeing feature delivery, and driving UX-focused engineering. Collaborating across product, design, and engineering to launch polished, scalable user experiences while mentoring developers and improving technical workflows.
2024 — Moved to Sweden
Transitioned internationally while continuing to build and maintain core systems for a Canadian startup. Strengthened global collaboration, expanded cross-cultural engineering experience, and adapted development practices to support distributed teams and evolving product priorities.
2019–2023 — Startup Builder & Independent Creator
Founded and led multiple side projects and startups: ideating products, designing UX/UI flows, building full-stack web and mobile apps, and taking them live. Managed everything from prototyping to deployment, iterating on user feedback, and refining business models — laying the groundwork for scalable ventures and expanding my technical leadership.
Early Career
Started as a self-taught developer, progressing from junior to full-stack engineer and eventually team lead. Built practical solutions for businesses, mastered core frameworks, and developed the foundations in architecture, communication, and problem-solving that shaped my career trajectory.
