Hi, I'm Matt

My Background

I've been building software professionally since 2001, starting in scientific imaging (C++ on macOS and Windows). That early work shaped how I approach engineering: reliability first, a strong feedback loop with users, and an attention to detail that holds up in production.

Today my work is mostly full‑stack web development with TypeScript and React on the front end, with TypeScript and Node.js on the back end for APIs and services. I also take on cross‑platform and porting work when the best solution spans Mac, Windows, and the web.

I’m comfortable across the whole software lifecycle: discovery and scoping, architecture and implementation, automated testing, and pragmatic delivery. When you work with Compiled Creations, you work directly with me with clear communication, thoughtful trade‑offs, and maintainable code you can rely on.

Over the years I’ve led and coached teams, introducing stronger engineering practices (like test‑driven development and continuous improvement) and helping teams adopt agile ways of working. I’ve served as a team lead, Scrum Master, Product Owner, and coach—so I understand both the technical and product sides of delivery.

Clients typically bring me in to:

• Build new products with a clean foundation and momentum
• Modernise and improve existing systems without breaking what works
• Stabilise delivery with better quality, testing, and maintainability
• Port software across platforms with confidence
