Hi! I am Matthew (He/Him), a Software Engineer 👨💻 based in the North of England. I enjoy creating things! My interest in development began when I started to try to modify game files. From there I went on to a Level 4 apprenticeship in software development where I got great experience dealing with both emerging and legacy technology!
Fast-forward today and I have had the privilege to work on many different technology stacks, Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:
- C++
- C#
- Java
- Angular
- Docker
- Kotlin
- Gradle
When I am not coding my next project, I enjoy spending my time doing any of the following:
- Attempting to Learn Korean
- Helping out with STEM events
- Watching my favourite twitch streamers
- Playing Strategy games such as Hearts of Iron
- Catching up on the latest true crime documentaries
- Trying to keep up with all the Drag race seasons 🏁
