About Me
Hi, my name is Matt. I’m a software engineer from Toronto currently living in Bremen, Germany.
I’ve been working since 2013. I mostly build web applications, but I really enjoy learning new technologies and concepts, so I’m open to working in other areas.
I’ve worked professionally with Python, Java, C#, and PHP in the backend, and have worked with many of the major frameworks in the frontend (Vue, React, Angular).
When I have some free time, I enjoy programming and learning Rust & Haskell. I’ve recently been looking into Elixir as well. At some point I’d like to try out Purescript
or Bucklescript/Reason.
