Hi, I'm Matt.

Basically... I make websites.

The “right” way to solve a problem is constantly evolving — there are always new techniques to discover and new voices to learn from. Taking pride in my work has committed me to the philosophy of life-long learning.

About Me

I'm currently a solutions architect and full-stack developer with a focus on front-end technologies. For those not in the industry, basically... I make websites. Web development is an iterative process, so I'm consistently working to make applications that are more efficient, fully accessible, and provide an intuitive experience to the user. While I've developed with many frameworks and languages, these days I'm using technologies like: React and Vue.js.

At the moment, my primary role is bringing front-end experiences to life; leveraging single-page application (SPA) frameworks and building them on a Sitecore CMS and .NET MVC back-end.

Since 2013, I've been developing applications for the web. When I first began, I was deeply embedded in the jQuery ecosystem. These days, I'm pursuing a more mindful approach to development; eschewing the “one size fits all” mentality and using the right tool for the job. Through understanding the intersectionality between people and technology I can do my part in reducing bloat and creating an intuitive, accessible web.

Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:

  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Vue.js
  • Node.js
  • .NET Framework
  • Sitecore CMS
